Police Kill 1 in Kashmir on Election Day Police Kill 1 in Kashmir on Election Day
(35 minutes later)
The police opened fire in Indian Kashmir on Wednesday, killing one man as small groups opposed to Indian rule and the holding of national elections in the territory threw stones and attacked government vehicles. More than 1,000 people, including separatist leaders who called for an election boycott, were taken into custody or placed under house arrest ahead of Wednesday’s vote in Srinagar, the hotbed of a nearly 25-year-old rebellion. The vote was part of a mammoth Indian election that is reaching its final stages. New Delhi has long struggled to bring Kashmiris into the democratic mainstream and elections in the past have been marred by violence and low turnout.
