SRINAGAR, India (AP) — Farooq Ahmed Wani was driving home on his motorcycle with his 6-year-old niece in Indian-controlled Kashmir when they were stopped by paramilitary soldiers, one of whom he said used a verbal slur.

When he objected, Wani said the solider got furious and without warning aimed a slingshot directly in the face of his niece and fired a marble into her right eye.

Wani's account, told from near the little girl's bedside in a Srinagar hospital, is just one of the stories of alleged Indian abuse slowly trickling out of disputed Kashmir since an indefinite curfew and near-total communications blackout were put in place 12 days ago, the night before Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist government revoked the Muslim-majority region's special constitutional protections.
