Thousands of people on Sunday defied a strict curfew across most of Indian-administered Kashmir to attend the funeral of a top rebel commander killed by security forces.
Sabzar Ahmad Bhat, a senior leader of the Hizbul Mujahideen group, was fatally shot on Saturday in a gun battle with government troops in his hometown of Tral, Aljazeera reported.
His death sparked widespread protests and clashes in parts of Kashmir, leaving one civilian dead and dozens of others wounded.
