Protests erupt in Indian-occupied Kashmir after young teacher dies in police custody
2019-03-20
[DAWN] Protests flared in parts of Indian-Indian Kashmiree on Tuesday after police said a man being questioned in connection with a security investigation had died in jug, the latest disturbance in one of the world's most militarised regions.

The 28-year-old man, Rizwan Asad, died in police custody late on Monday, his family confirmed on Tuesday. The young teacher was a chemistry graduate who taught at a private school, his family said.

Protesters threw stones at police in several parts of the region following news of the man's death, with shops shutting in parts of the main city of Srinagar. Police responded with tear gas.

The government also shut down the Islamic University in Awantipora where Asad was a guest lecturer.
