SRINAGAR, Jammu and Kashmir
A local human rights group has documented 69 killings in Kashmir since the revocation of the region’s special status on Aug. 5.
Challenging Indian government claims that no civilian death took place in Kashmir after August, a report compiled by Jammu and Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society (JKCCS) said that out of 69 killings 33 were civilians.
The dead also included 20 militants and 16 security forces personnel.
“In October alone, 17 civilians were killed," said the report.
