- Srinagar, Oct 3 (IANS) Twenty-two people, including an additional superintendent of police, were injured as protestors clashed with police in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla town Saturday, a day after a 13-year-old died when he was hit by a teargas smoke shell, an official said.
“At least 12 policemen, including the Baramulla additional superintendent of police, were injured in stone pelting by an irate mob. Ten protesters also suffered minor injuries in the clashes,” a senior police officer said here.
Groups of youth gathered at two bridges connecting the old and new town areas of Baramulla and started pelting stones at police deployed to maintain law and order in the town.
Authorities imposed strict restrictions in the old town area and section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code was imposed banning the assembly of five or more people.
Traffic on the Srinagar-Baramulla road plied normally even though there was palpable tension in Baramulla town.
Ruling National Conference leader and Rural Development Minister Ali Muhammad Sagar visited the town and met with senior civil and police officers. He also announced a magisterial probe into the boy’s death.
