RIOTS have continued to rock Kashmir after rebel leader Riyaz Naikoo was shot dead by Indian troops along with three other fighters late on Tuesday in the disputed Himalayan region.

Police cars have been torched as protesters clashed with security services in towns and cities in Indian-administered Kashmir as anger grows over what is seen by many as an occupation in the locked-down region.

Hundreds of soldiers were involved in Tuesday’s operations after receiving intelligence reports that Mr Naikoo was hiding in a village in Kashmir’s southern Pulwama district.
