Mob attacks SDPO's office in Kashmir's Badgaum, 3 dead

Three people were killed in protests across parts of Kashmir today.

This came after a mob attacked the office of a Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO).

One person was killed in Naagam and another person was killed in Khansaheb areas of Badgaum. Another protestor was later killed in Sopore.

Protests and clashes continue in Kashmir even a month after Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani was killed by security forces in an encounter on July 8. With more than 50 people killed and over 3,000 injured, the state government is facing severe backlash over its failure to tackle the crisis.
