While the Jammu and Kashmir Police constituted a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the ghastly incident protesters blocked the Srinagar-Baramulla highway demanding punishment on a fast-track basis. The police had to use tear smoke shells to disperse the angry protesters at the Srinagar-Baramulla highway.
