Incident involving Hazratbal shrine siege
The Bijbehara Massacre took place when 74th Battalion Border Security Force (BSF) fired upon Kashmiri Muslim protesters in the Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir, India on 22 October 1993, killing 51 civilians. In the official version of events, BSF had only acted in self-defense when fired upon by militants; however, this narrative was rejected by Human Rights Watch citing the 1993 U.S.
