In Indian-held Kashmir (IHK), people staged demonstrations in Sopore against attacks on a Pakistani prisoner in Kot Bhalwal jail, Jammu.
Witnesses told reporters that people took to the streets at main chowk and its adjoining areas in the town and staged demonstrations against the attack on Pakistani prisoner, Sanaullah.
They raised anti-India and pro-freedom slogans. The witnesses said that Indian police and troops, who were deployed in the town to prevent protests against the incident, resorted to baton charge and teargas shelling to disperse the protesters.
