The violence came after photos of the incident from Friday were widely circulated and sparked fresh condemnation of India’s heavy military presence in Muslim-majority Kashmir, where government forces have long been accused of using excessive force.
In the Friday protest, demonstrators hurled stones, bricks and even a bicycle at the paramilitary vehicle as it drove through Srinagar, the summer capital of the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir. The vehicle reportedly ran over and injured three protesters, one of whom died several hours later.
When mourners staged a funeral march on Saturday for the victim, identified in Indian news media as Qaiser Amin Bhat, Indian police fired at the crowds with tear gas and shotgun pellets, causing some injuries, witnesses said.
