Kashmiris carry the coffin containing the body of a man who was killed by a tear gas shell fired by the Indian police in Budgam 15 km (9 miles) west of Srinagar July 1, 2008. India placed several top Kashmiri separatist leaders under house arrest on Tuesday as they prepared to protest against a decision to transfer forest land to a Hindu shrine trust, a move that has sparked violence. In one of the biggest protests since a separatist revolt broke out in Kashmir in 1989, angry Muslims have shut down the region and at least four people have been shot dead by police in demonstrations that started last week.
