Indian police and paramilitary troops have clashed with Kashmiri mourners marking the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the third Shia imam, in the disputed Himalayan valley.
Fierce clashes erupted on Thursday when Indian forces fired tear gas canisters and began beating the Shia mourners with batons to disperse them in Srinagar, the main city and also summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Police also detained more than a dozen mourners in the Muslim-majority region.
