Protests erupt in Kashmir after a young teacher dies in custody of Indian police in the restive Himalayan region

Kashmiris have been protesting against arbitrary arrests and killings by Indian security forces for months now.

Rizwan Asad Pandit, a chemistry graduate who taught at a private school, had been arrested as part of a "terror case investigation", a police spokesman said.Pandit's brother, Zulkarnain Asad Pandit, was sceptical that any investigation would reveal the truth."We've all seen investigations for the last 20 years."

Tension between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan, which both claim Kashmir in full but rule it in part, escalated dramatically after a suicide car bomb killed at least 40 Indian paramilitary police on February 14. Rizwan Asad Pandit came from a family with links to the Jamaat-e-Islami , his brother said, a political group that wants independence from India for Kashmir.
