Shopian   03 May: Clashes are under way at Dachoo village here between mourners with body of Sufail Ahmad who succumbed to injuries he had received during Sunday encounter, and government forces as local army is not letting the ‘huge procession enter the grave yard’. According to locals Army’s 44 RR is stationed in the camp near Dachoo village, who had already informed village elders that ‘get a few men with the body’.
