The killing triggered anti-India protests in the area. Defying curfew restrictions, people took to streets and held demonstrations in Sopore to protest another killing by the troops.
Twenty persons were injured in police actions against the demonstrators. Heavy deployment of police and paramilitary personnel was made to enforce curfew restrictions and the cops had blocked the roads with barbed wire and armoured vehicles.
The All Parties Hurriyet Conference Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in a statement, issued in Srinagar, expressed concern over the killings by Indian troops and appealed to the international community to help bringing Indian state terrorism to an end.
The Patron of Jammu and Kashmir Mahaz-e-Azadi, Mohammad Azam Inqilabi in his statement emphasised that the people of Kashmir would not compromise on their inalienable right to self-determination.
Meanwhile, the annual report prepared by Brussels-based International Federation of Journalists has said that Jammu and Kashmir continued to pose serious challenges for journalism as the media men encountered strict restrictions in filing their reports.
