Eight die in Kashmir violence
SRINAGAR, Dec 14: Eight people were killed in occupied Kashmir in violence, police said on Sunday, adding they will send a find of rare bullets for chemical analysis.
Police on Friday seized a small pistol shaped like a pen and 25 small bullets near the northern town of Handwara.
A policeman was left temporarily unconscious after breaking open one of the bullets which were marked “Neuroxene” — which scientists said was some kind of nerve gas.
The cache was sealed and sent to a police laboratory for chemical analysis.
“To be sure what the bullets are made up of we are likely to send them to some well-known forensic laboratory (outside the state),” a police officer said.
