Tens of thousands of people in Indian-administered Kashmir have been subjected to torture in the past three decades, a report released by two human rights groups says
The latest report says at least 40 people in 432 case studies researched died"as a result of injuries received during torture."
The Indian government declined to make an immediate comment on the claims by the Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons and the Jammu Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society. Officials said authorities would study the allegations first. Kashmir civilians have been systematically tortured by the Indian state to curb dissent, said the report titled: "Torture: Indian State's Instrument of Control in Indian Administered Jammu and Kashmir."
It said the latest death was in March when a school principal, Rizwan Pandith, died while being held by a police special counter-insurgency group.
