The man who died of bullet wounds on his forehead has been identified as Sajjad Hussain Sheikh, a senior police official has said, adding that he is a resident of Chandoosa in Baramulla.

A 23-year-old man was killed in Srinagar's Batmaloo area on Saturday evening after security forces opened fire following clashes.

BSF jawans reportedly opened fire after protestors pelted stones on security personnel at Reka chowk. All shops have been shut down following this, said the police official. "There was no deployment (of a security force) in the area". We're told it was the BSF.

USA declines to brand China a currency manipulator
US President Donald Trump had repeatedly accused China of indulging in currency manipulation to boost exports. Many economists have argued that the Chinese currency, RMB, has been at equilibrium level in recent years.

He added that whichever the uniformed force it was it had taken a route which is usually not permitted for the security forces.

Police said the deceased hails from Chandoosa village of Baramulla but he was presently putting up in the colony where he got killed. "The matter is being investigated".

The incident comes on the day when almost 50 students were injured, many of them girl students, during clashes in the volatile south Kashmir's Pulwama Degree College.
