| J&K police fire in air to disperse protesting crowd | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, Oct 28: Police today fired in the air to disperse a crowd of protesters resisting the arrest of an alleged stone-pelter in Abi Guzar area near Lal Chowk, officials said.
A police party, which was tracking Mohammad Altaf Sheikh, picked him up from Abi Guzar area near Lal Chowk this evening, they said.
However, a group of youth tried to resist the arrest by shouting slogans, forcing the police to fire warning shots, they added.
Although no one was hurt in the incident, the firing caused panic among the passers-by, who ran fearing a militant attack, they said.
The shopkeepers in Lal Chowk, Resident Road, Regal Chowk and Maulana Azad Road downed their shutters while vehicles took alternative routes.
Normalcy was restored in most parts of the commercial centre within minutes after the apprehensions about militant attack were dispelled.
