Abdul Kareem Burial

The death of a police constable has triggered an intense anger and resentment against terrorists at a village in north Kashmir's Kupwara district - an unexpected turnaround in the wake of the five-month unrest following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani.

For a state bruised for months by clashes between security forces and protesters, Kashmir witnessed a unique sight on Sunday. Thousands gathered to attend the funeral of policeman, killed while fighting terrorists in north Kashmir, giving him a hero's sendoff.
