Fresh protests rock Kashmir after 15-year-old boy dies allegedly after pellet gun firing

Srinagar, Sept 17 (IBNS) Fresh unrest gripped Srinagar as huge number of prostesters took to the street after after a 15-year-old boy was killed in pellet gun firing by security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Harwan town on Friday.

Reports said Momin Altaf was killed after security forces fired from  pellet guns to quell violent crowds.

Security forces, however, claim that they fired pellets from a distance, which should not have caused the boy's death.

A large number of people attended Momin's funeral prayers.

His death takes the toll of civilians to 85 in 70 days.

Reports said the Army have deployed one additional brigade, while more troops are likely to be rushed to south Kashmir, the worst hit region by the protests, continuing since early July.
