Three civilians, including a teenage girl, were killed when security forces allegedly opened fire at a stone-pelting mob during a cordon and search operation in a south Kashmir village on Saturday.

The killing of a tourist from Chennai in a stone pelting incident has been widely condemned in the valley, with both mainstream politicians and the separatist leaders criticising the attack that took place in Jammu and Kashmir a day ago.

A group of stone pelters on Wednesday attacked a school bus carrying 50 students in Kashmir leaving at least 2 students injured.

A report claims that two CRPF jawans were mowed down by a para-military force vehicle when its driver lost control over the vehicle. It was reported that the vehicle went uncontrolled due to stone pelting at Hiller area in Kokernag of South Kashmir, police said late on Wednesday. The adverse incident took place when CRPF troops were returning after a day-long law and order duty in the area.

The Supreme Court on Monday restrained the Jammu and Kashmir Police from carrying out any investigation in pursuance to an FIR filed against Major Aditya Kumar following the death of three civilians as Army tried to disperse a stone-pelting mob in Shopian district.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's convoy has been attacked in Buxar's Nandar during his "Vikas Samiksha Yatra".

Days after Indian and Chinese troops got involved in a scuffle in Jammu and Kashmir's Ladakh, a video of the stone pelting surfaced on Saturday, but army sources, however, said they cannot confirm its authenticity.

The idea of using a Kashmiri man as a human shield against angry stonepelters in Kashmir by a young army officer was the right thing as everything is fair in love and war, BJP National General Secretary Ram Madhav said on Thursday.
