Three people were killed and more than a dozen injured on Sunday when police clashed with protesters during a by-election in Srinagar in India's disputed Kashmir region, an official said.
Separatist factions in Kashmir had called for a boycott of the by-polls, resulting in heightened security and low voter turnout when the polling began. Overall, more than a dozen people were injured during the clashes across central Kashmir on Sunday, the official said.
The by-election in Srinagar is being held to fill a vacant seat in the Lok Sabha, India's lower house of Parliament. A second by-poll in the state for a separate Lok Sabha seat is set to take place on April 12 in Anantnag. The results of both polls are set to be announced on April 15.
