An Indian defence spokesman claimed that the youth were militants and were killed in an encounter with the troops.
The killings come at a time when the Indian authorities had announced a ceasefire in the restive region for the Holy month of Ramazan.

Besides the casualties, 762 civilians were injured when Indian troops and police personnel resorted to brute force, bullets, pellets, and teargas shelling on protesters.
