SRINAGAR: Kashmiris in the Poonch district of the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) staged protest demonstrations to denounce the custodial killing of a young Kashmiri man at a police detention center in the Surankot area.
As reported by Kashmir Media Service, a significant number of protesters, including the victim, Ulfat Hussain’s family members, relatives, and fellow villagers, marched in protest, urging a thorough investigation into the incident.

Meanwhile, a Border Security Force Head Constable from India took his own life with his service weapon in Kupwara after learning of his wife’s suicide in the Indian state of Rajasthan.
