SRINAGAR: Authorities imposed curfew in parts of the Valley on Sunday to prevent protests after residents of north Kashmir's Baramulla town alleged that a teenager drowned after the cops chased him a day earlier.
Hundreds of troops patrolled streets and erected barricades to impose restrictions on the people's movement as hardline Hurriyat faction had called for a shutdown.
Officials said the local administration was looking for Faizan Rafiq Buhroo's body when the reports last came in. He was a class XII student at Baramulla's Guru Nanak School. A police officer said restrictions were also imposed in Srinagar's old city, Maisuma, Batmaloo and Humhama to prevent violence.
