6 protesters killed in Northern India

At least six people have been killed in northern India during the latest day of protests against the government's new citizenship law.

Uttar Pradesh police chief OP Singh told the Reuters news agency that 32 others were injured.

At least 13 people are now reported to have died overall in clashes sparked by a controversial government bill, seen by critics as anti-Muslim.

Protesters have continued to take to the streets in spite of police bans.

Local medical and police officials told AFP that at least five of those who had died in districts in Uttar Pradesh on Friday had sustained bullet wounds.

The state's police chief, Singh, denied that any of Friday's deaths were caused by his officers' gunfire.
