Clashes erupted in Srinagar city in India's Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) union territory on Tuesday after the local authorities did not allow members of the Muslim community to carry out a Muharram procession. The police have used tear gas to disperse the crowd in the city's Lal Chowk square.Videos from the site have emerged online, detailing the situation. Some of the videos suggest that even a journalist was allegedly assaulted by law enforcement during the confrontation between the police and protesters.Some people involved in the clashes have been detained by the police, the exact numbers, however, remain unclear.
