A Kashmiri youth died while dozens others got injured when Indian troops opened fire on a funeral procession in Indian-held valley on Sunday. Meanwhile, three injured protesters also died in two separate hospitals after being injured on Saturday and last week in clashes with Indian security forces in three different districts of the valley, a police spokesman said. Government forces have been battling months of violent demonstrations in the mainly Muslim region that were ignited by the police killing of a 17-year-old student on June 11. A total of 105 protesters and bystanders including children have been killed, mostly by security forces firing on demonstrators after being pelted with stones. One policeman has also died.
