Srinagar erupts in violence

June 24, 2008
The body of Feroze Ahmad was handed over to his relatives by the police. Hundreds of mourners, who attended Ahmad's funeral prayers, shouted slogans against the government and the SASB at Nowhatta area of old city.

Feroze's death further fuelled the angry protests in Srinagar. Stone pelting mobs stopped traffic and forced closure of businesses and educational institutions throughout the old city area.

The mob also shouted slogans against the allotment of land to SASB on the streets of Nowhatta, Gojiwara, Hawal, Lal Bazzar, Soura, Chotta Bazzar, Karan Nagar, Safa Kadal, and Maisuma.
