Police kill 2 students protesting Hrithik's remark

KATHMANDU, DEC. 26. Police shot and killed two protesters as thousands of Left-wing students today clashed with police, blocked traffic and ransacked a movie theatre to protest a remark allegedly made by Mr. Hrithik Roshan against Nepal. Four policemen were seriously injured in stone-throwing by the students.

Policemen first fired in the air to avert arson by a mob at a theatre screening Mission Kashmir starring Mr. Hrithik Roshan, India's newest movie rage. But they shot dead two students after they were attacked with stones, a police officer said on condition of anonymity. Nearly 5,000 students from at least half a dozen colleges in Kathmandu took out protests in colleges and poured into the streets, blocking traffic for at least two hours.
