A school student died in Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara district on Friday when security forces allegedly opened fire on a mob protesting the deaths of four civilians earlier this week, police said.

A police official said people from different villages gathered outside an army camp of 47 Rashtriya Rifles in Natnusa village on national highway after Friday prayers.

"The people pelted stones on the camp prompting the army men to open fire," said the official.

Separatists had asked people to protest after Friday prayers over the killing of four persons in the district in security forces action since Tuesday.
