Seventy-year old woman latest to die as protesters face off with police for a second day in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Indian authorities have imposed a curfew in parts of Kashmir to stop fresh demonstrations following the killings of four people by Indian troops.
The latest death occurred on Wednesday when a man was hit on his head by a tear gas shell fired by security forces in the northern village of Drugmulla in Indian-administered Kashmir, police said.
He was part of hundreds of rock-throwing protesters who clashed with government forces for a second day as authorities enforced a curfew in Srinagar, Handwara, and neighbouring villages.
"We imposed restrictions in the old town of Srinagar and in Handwara to prevent violence," director general of police, K Rajendra, told the AFP news agency.
A resident from Handwara told Al Jazeera that clashes continued throughout the day even though shops and schools were closed and streets deserted because of a security lockdown.
A nurse at the local hospital in the government sub-district hospital in Langate told Al Jazeera on condition of anonymity that about 20 people had been brought in for treatment for tear gas and gunshot wounds.
