US report talks on custodial death, encounter killings as human rights issues in India

New Delhi/Washington, Mar 13 (UNI) Killings by government and non government forces, including "organized insurgents and terrorists", were reported in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, northeastern states, and Maoist-affected areas of the country, the US said in its report on human right on Wednesday.
The 'Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2018' - which covers a global level study and references - referred to arbitrary killings, forced disappearance and deaths in police custody and also says that the Indian government has imposed restrictions on foreign funding of some non-governmental organisations, including those with views the government stated were not in the "national interest".
In the state of Jammu and Kashmir, the Institute for Conflict Management recorded 213 fatalities from terrorist violence through June, compared with 317 for all of 2017, said the US report.
