LENSMEN ASSAULTED

Srinagar, Nov 25: A photojournalist was detained by police and paramilitary CRPF while three others were allegedly assaulted Friday in old city here.
The lensmen were covering the clashes at Saraf Kadal after the Friday prayers. The injured have been identified as Umer Mehraj of Associated Press, Yawar Kabuli of Kashmir Dispatch, Showkat Shafi freelancer, and Shahid Tantray of Dainik Bhaskar.
 Kashmir Press Photographers Association (KPPA) has condemned the action of security personnel. The detained lensman was later released.
 A police spokesman said, “After the Friday prayers some miscreants resorted to stone pelting at Saraf Kadal area of downtown Srinagar. Police exercised maximum restraint in spite of grave provocations and to quell the mob chased the miscreants and in the ensuing melee some photo journalists, who had intermingled with the crowd to cover this subversive activity, got trampled down by the fleeing miscreants.”
