Kashmir teenager's death sparks fresh anti-India protests
None
SRINAGAR -- At least 30 people were injured in Indian-controlled Kashmir on Saturday after government forces fired shotgun pellets and tear gas as a funeral procession for a teenager turned into a protest against Indian rule.
Police and paramilitary soldiers intercepted the mourners carrying the body of the teenage boy who his family alleges died of police torture in Srinagar, the main city of the disputed region.
Witnesses said hundreds of young men participating in the funeral hurled rocks at the troops as tear gas shells exploded near the boy's coffin, while another group of mourners changed route to bury him.
