SRINAGAR, India: At least 50 people were injured in clashes in Indian Kashmir on Wednesday as protesters helped rebels escape a siege by government forces, police and hospital authorities said.
While protests in support of the surrounded rebels have increased on the Indian side of the divided territory in recent years, it is rare for insurgents to escape.
Militant groups fighting the 500,000 Indian soldiers deployed there demand independence or a merger with Pakistan.
