The latest death occured on Wednesday when a man was hit on his head by a tear gas shell fired by security forces in the northern village of Drugmulla in Indian-administered Kashmir, police said.
He was part of hundreds of rock-throwing protesters who clashed with government forces for a second straight day as authorities enforced a curfew in Srinagar, Handwara and neighboring villages.
"We imposed restrictions in the old town of Srinagar and in Handwara to prevent violence," director general of police, K Rajendra, told the AFP news agency.
