The state has witnessed violence since the Srinagar by-polls last week that saw a record low turnout. Eight people died and nearly 100 were injured in unprecedented violence during the Srinagar by-polls, held in the shadow of threats and a boycott call by separatists.
On Sunday, a video, in which
a worker of the ruling PDP and a trader from South Kashmir are seen chanting anti-India slogans at gun-point, surfaced online.
Another widely-shared video from Kashmir, of a
young man tied to an army jeep that moves in a convoy, had sparked anger. The police filed a First Information Report or FIR against the Army for allegedly using the man as a "human shield" against protesters who were throwing stones.
