VIOLENCE gripped parts of Kashmir Valley on Saturday (July 31) as protestors attacked a CRPF patrol party, tried to set a railway station on fire and clashed with security forces who fired to quell the mob, leaving a teenager dead and over 10 others injured.

With the death of the teenager, a total of five persons have been killed since the fresh outbreak of violence on Friday (July 30).

In the wake of the protests, authorities imposed indefinite curfew in major towns of the Kashmir Valley.

A 17-year old girl was killed when security forces fired at protestors, who went on a rampage and attacked a CRPF patrol which was enforcing curfew in Kreeri in Pattan, police said.

The security forces made several attempts to disperse the crowd but it turned more violent and tried to snatch the rifles of the CRPF jawans, they said.

Security forces then opened fire in which four persons were injured.

Five more persons were injured when protestors tried to set a railway station on fire at Amargarh in Sopore, 55 km from Srinagar. 

Violence also broke out in Pampore, 16 km from Srinagar, where locals attacked policemen. There was no report of any casualty in the incident.

A police spokesman said this morning that two of the 70 people, who were injured during protests on Friday succumbed to injuries at a hospital. The deceased have been identified as Mohammed Rafiq and 30-year-old Mohammed Siddiqui of Baramulla district.

Police and paramilitary forces have been deployed in all sensitive areas and the residents have been asked not to step out.

Security forces on Friday opened fire to quell stone-pelting protesters who clashed with them at several places.

The clashes come nearly 10 days after a person was killed and another injured in police firing in self-defence on a mob which turned violent during funeral of youth who had drowned in Jhelum river in Baramulla district.
