Government security forces in Indian Kashmir's main city fired tear gas and used bamboo batons Tuesday to disperse hundreds of angry demonstrators protesting the killing of a man by troops.
Several people, including soldiers, were injured in the clashes, officials and doctors said.
The protest in Srinagar started after a memorial service for 23-year-old Javed Ahmed Bhat, who was killed Saturday during another demonstration in the city.
More than two months of protests in Indian Kashmir have left at least 43 people dead, most of them killed when soldiers opened fire on Muslim protesters.
Police admit shooting Bhat with a rubber bullet, and say he later died of his wounds.
At least six protesters, one with bullet wounds, were brought to a Srinagar hospital on Tuesday, according to Reyaz Ahmed, a doctor. He gave no other details.
Prabhakar Tripathi, a spokesman for the paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force, said police and paramilitary soldiers were also injured in the clashes. He gave no immediate details on the numbers.
Tripathi said police did not fire at protesters on Tuesday, though in the past troops have used both rubber bullets as well as live ammunition to control angry crowds.
The latest unrest in Kashmir, the worst to hit the Himalayan region in more than a decade, was triggered by a government move to hand over land to a Hindu shrine. Muslim separatist leaders launched protests in June, saying the plan was aimed at changing the demographics of the Muslim-majority region.
The plan was quickly scrapped, angering the region's Hindu minority. Hindus then launched their own massive protests, forcing authorities to allow Hindu pilgrims temporary use of land near the shrine.
But the Muslim demonstrations have snowballed into a broader anti-India movement.
Kashmir has been divided between Hindu-majority India and predominantly Muslim Pakistan since 1947, when the two fought their first war over the region in the aftermath of Britain's bloody partition of the subcontinent. Both countries continue to claim Kashmir in its entirety.
A separatist insurgency in Indian Kashmir has killed an estimated 68,000 people since 1989.
