SRINAGAR:A youth was killed and two others injured allegedly in CRPF firing on demonstrators in central Kashmir's Budgam district on Saturday, police said.
Three persons were injured when CRPF allegedly fired upon the protestors, who were protesting against the killing of a youth in an Army operation at Tral in south Kashmir's Pulwama district early this week, they said.
The injured youth were rushed to a hospital here, where one youth identified as Suhail Ahmad Sofi succumbed to injuries.
The other two youth are being treated upon, the police said.
Meanwhile, a police spokesman said that preliminary inquiry into the incident indicated that the forces have allegedly acted in violation of the laid down standard operating procedures (SOPs).
He said a case under various sections of the RPC, including 302 (murder), has been registered in police station Magam.
"We regret the unfortunate incident and extend our sympathies to the bereaved family," the spokesman said.

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq placed under house arrest
Authorities on Saturday placed several separatists, including moderate Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, under house arrest even as a strike called by hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani over killing of a youth in an Army operation earlier this week evoked a partial response in some parts of Kashmir.
Mirwaiz was placed under house arrest on Saturday morning in view of fresh protests.
Geelani and several other second rung separatist leaders continue to be under house arrest for the second consecutive day on Saturday, the officials said.
These leaders were placed under house arrest on Friday to scuttle Geelani's proposed march to Tral town.
In view of the strike call, shops, business establishments, educational institutes and petrol pumps were shut in and around Lal Chowk city centre but most of them were open in the civil lines areas of the city as well as in other major towns of the valley, the officials said.
They said while public transport was sparse, private vehicles, cabs and auto-rickshaws plied normally.
Geelani had also asked the people to protest against "unjustified and inhuman" arrests of Hurriyat Leaders including Masarat Alam.
