Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir authorities imposed restrictions on civilian movement in parts of Srinagar’s downtown area, while high speed internet was shut off in the Kashmir Valley after a protest broke out in the city’s largest prison complex Thursday night.
Locals claimed that the violent confrontation between the jail authorities and inmates started when the inmates were asked to shift from their barracks. The claim was confirmed to ThePrint by multiple police officials Friday.
However, the police’s version of the event is quite different to that of the residents of the area and the family members of the inmates, who have accused jail authorities of high-handedness.
