SRINAGAR: Eight protesters were killed and more than 200 injured in Indian-held Kashmir (IHK) on Saturday after thousands defied a curfew following the death of a top separatist commander, officials said. Shiv Murari Sahai, a top police official in the region, told reporters that seven protesters were killed by government forces in “retaliatory action” and one drowned in a river as clashes intensified. More than 100 protesters with bullet injuries were brought into different hospitals, including 50 in a hospital in the main city of Srinagar, two health officials said.
