The Indian forces last week martyred three Kashmiris in a search operation in district Pulwama. Later, they opened firing at protesters leaving eight other people dead and around 200 injured.
Eyewitnesses said that scores of people, including Hurriyat activists, staged a protest demonstration at Nowhatta chowk to condemn the killings. The protesters were raising pro-freedom and anti-India slogans as they took out a protest rally.
The protesters called for an end to civilian killings and search operations.
