Police in Indian-controlled Kashmir arrested 13 women for holding an anti-India protest and two suspected militants shot and killed a truck driver near an apple orchard where he had picked up fruit boxes, police said Tuesday. The shooting of the truck driver on Monday came during the apple season. They killed the driver after he had driven them about a kilometer (half a mile) from the spot, Khan said. He said the gunmen set the man's truck on fire and fled from Sindoo Shirmal, a village in southern Kashmir. Tensions have been high and the apple trade has suffered after India's government imposed a security and communications lockdown in August.
