At least five people were injured on Friday when security forces allegedly opened fire on an angry mob protesting the deaths of four civilians in Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara district, police said.
On April 13, protests had erupted in Handwara town of Kupwara district, following allegations that a girl student, on her way home, was molested by soldiers posted in an army picket in the town.
Protestors had pelted stones at the army picket to which the security forces retailed by firing.
