SRINAGAR: Police in occupied Kashmir detained a senior politician and dozens of others on Tuesday for protesting the deaths of two young women who were allegedly raped and killed by Indian soldiers.
Anti-India sentiment runs deep in Kashmir, where about 200 people have been injured in clashes between security forces and angry protesters since Saturday, when the bodies of a 17-year-old and her 22-year-old sister-in-law were found in a stream.
Human rights groups and Kashmiri leaders have long accused the Indian military of using rape and sexual molestation to intimidate the local population. The military and paramilitary groups have not responded to the allegations, but police have said the women appear to have drowned.
