While reports of collateral deaths, crossfire victims and civilian killings have become commonplace in Kashmir, the Hyderpora deaths show a particularly heartless side of the State. https://t.co/JTOlINxyi3

"The bodies have been handed over to the families and they are on way to Srinagar now," sources said. There was an outrage over the killing of these two civilians and also over the decision to bury them away from their homes without any family member attending the last rites.
