More than 2,900 bodies were discovered over the past three years in mass graves in 55 villages across three districts in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir, a rights group said. The graves, unearthed by researchers from the International People's Tribunal on Human Rights and Justice in Kashmir, include bodies of those killed in gun battles, arbitrary executions and massacres by military and paramilitary forces, the Indian-based group said.
