FIR against army jawans over man being tied to jeep as shield

He also chanted anti-India slogans on the directions of the gun-wielding person (not visible in the video). The killing caused outrage among the masses as thousands took to the streets in protest.

Indian-held Kashmir has been tense since April 9, when eight people were killed by police and paramilitary troops during election day violence.

Another video shows a group of youths pelting stones at security forces at a polling booth in Beerwah.

The Jammu and Kashmir Police had on Sunday issued an advisory to its personnel to exercise extreme caution while visiting their hometown, especially in south Kashmir.

The government crackdown has failed to halt the protests against the Indian rule in Kashmir.

Police have filed a case against the army over the incident, in which soldiers are accused of seizing a 24-year old shawl weaver on April 9, strapping him to the front of their vehicle and then parading him through villages.

The video had evoked angry reactions from social media users with many calling the act by the Indian armed forces as a gross violation of human rights in Jammu and Kashmir.

"In reference to the video showing a young man tied to an Army jeep, the contents of the video are being verified and investigated", PRO, Defence, Rajesh Kalia told Mirror.

Few days back, a video showed Indian army using a man in occupied Kashmir as human shield to prevent stone hurling at them.

During the investigation, Dar claimed he was picked up when he was on way to his sister's house, where a relative had died, after casting his vote.

'Look at the fate of the stone-pelter, ' a soldier is saying over a loudspeaker, in the video. "Now, because of an explosion in social media, it's finally coming out", Kashmiri activist Khurram Parvez told AFP news agency.

"What Farooq Ahmad Dar was subjected to is cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment amounting to torture", Zahoor Wani, senior campaigner at Amnesty International India, said.

Omar Abdulla, the opposition leader and state's former chief minister, described the incident as "shocking" in a Twitter post.

Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has sought a report from the police on the videos.

India has been battling Pakistan- backed militancy in Kashmir state for decades. The two countries have fought three wars over the disputed territory.

The Kashmir valley plunged into chaos soon after a separatist militant, Burhan Wani, was killed by Indian forces in July a year ago.
