A teenager was killed in police firing in Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir near the summer capital of the state, triggering fresh outrage against forces and prompting the ruling government to order a magisterial probe.
The government Saturday ordered a magisterial probe into the killing of Suhail Ahmad (16) who fell to the bullets in firing by the security forces early this morning when they were protesting against re-arrest of hardliner separatist leader Masrat Alam at Narabal in Budgam district, about 15 km from Srinagar, official said.
