A Kashmiri girl watches relatives and neighbors mourn the death of a civilian Mehraj-ud-din Shah outside his home in Makhama village, west of Srinagar, Indian controlled Kashmir, Wednesday, May 13, 2020. Indian soldiers fatally shot the young man at a checkpoint in the Himalayan region of Kashmir on Wednesday, residents and officials said, triggering anti-India protests and clashes in the disputed region. India’s Central Reserve Police Force said the man was driving a car and ignored signals to stop at two checkpoints in the western outskirts of Srinagar, the region’s main city. The victim’s father, Ghulam Nabi Shah, denied the police account, saying his son did not drive through any checkpoints, and that soldiers first stopped him and then shot him. (AP Photo/ Dar Yasin)
