» » Kashmir:police and protesters clash

Separatist groups called a strike across Jammu and Kashmir as a mark of protest against the violence in Jammu's Ramban district on Thursday.

Security forces in Indian-administered Kashmir have fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse protesters, a day after shooting dead four demonstrators.

Hundreds of people angry at the killings clashed with police in many parts of the disputed territory, defying a government-imposed curfew.

Reports say two protesters and six police officers were injured.

Police initially said six people were killed, but later revised these figures.

Some reports said the protest came after forces entered a mosque, with allegations they also beat a cleric.

Angry crowds then gathered outside the Border Security Force (BSF) camp in Ramban. More than 40 people were injured when troops opened fire. Some are in a critical condition.

A BSF official said troops fired only when a violent mob tried to attack the base.
