A case was registered against troopers of the Rashtriya Rifles for a shootout in Jammu and Kashmir's Sopore town Saturday that killed two civilians.
"There are strict curfew-like restrictions throughout Sopore and our movement is being disallowed," Gulam Muhammad, a resident of Sopore, told IANS over telephone.
Protests, meanwhile, continued in Bumai village on the outskirts of Sopore town where the shooting incident took place Saturday. Hundreds of angry mourners shouted slogans against the army during the burial of one of the slain youth.
Locals had alleged that several youth were returning from a Sufi shrine when personnel of the Rashtriya Rifles fired upon them without any reason.
"The situation is tense, but under control. Those responsible for the unfortunate shooting incident would be brought to book," a police official said.
A magisterial enquiry has been ordered into the firing incident and will be carried out by the the sub-divisional magistrate of Sopore within a fortnight, officials said.
