At least 10 people were injured in Indian occupied Kashmir on Saturday when police fired teargas shells and baton-charged hundreds of students as protest erupted over a suspected prostitution ring involving local officials.
Local newspapers and TV channels have been reporting details of a racket they say provided prostitutes for politicians, police officers and bureaucrats.
"Expose people, stop pushing innocent girls into the sex trade," protesters shouted outside the Kashmir University campus in occupied Srinagar.
Dukhtaran-e-Milat (Daughters of the Muslim Faith) also demonstrated against the suspected prostitution ring on Saturday. "If the government fails to expose the accused we will intensify our agitation," Milat's head Asiya Andrabi said.
