Protestors also attacked three police stations in Sopore, Srinagar and Anantnag. Some protesters hurled petrol bombs in Srinagar and Sopore.

The attackers were chased away by tear-gas shells and firing in the air. The death toll in Monday's firing at Baramulla's Pattan area rose to four after teenager Mudasir Ahmad succumbed to bullet injuries in hospital.
