Kashmiri mourners take photographs of the body of Burhan Muzaffar Wani, the new-age poster boy for the rebel movement in the restive Himalayan state of Jammu and Kashmir, ahead of his funeral in Tral, his native town, 42kms south of Srinagar on July 9, 2016. A top commander from the largest rebel group in Indian-administered Kashmir was killed in a gun battle with government forces on July 8, police said. Young and media savvy, Burhan Wani was a top figure in Hizbul Mujahideen and had a one million rupee ($14,900) bounty on his head. Wani, 22, joined the rebel movement at the age of 15 and in recent years had been behind a huge recruitment drive to the group’s ranks, attracting young and educated Kashmiris to the decades-old fight for independence of the restive disputed region. Viewed locally as a hero, his death sparked protests in nearby Anantnag town, with hundreds taking to the streets shouting independence slogans and lauding Wani as a revolutionary, witnesses said.
