A relative consoles the mother of Shafiq Ahmad Sheikh, who was killed when pro-separatist stone-pelters attacked a minibus to protest the house arrest of separatist leaders in Srinagar on Friday. Shafiq, a state government employee, died after being hit on the head by a stone thrown by a group
of youth in Srinagar’s Batmaloo locality. On February 22, an 11-day-old baby had died after he fell from his mother’s arms during an attack on a mini-bus by a group of stone-pelting protesters in Baramulla district. PHOTO: PTI
