Burhan Muzzafar Wani was killed by security forces on Friday.
Amid tense situation, thousands gathered for the funeral of Burhan Muzzafar Wani held at Eidgah in Tral town of Jammu and Kashmir.
Hizbul Mujahideen's 21-year-old poster boy Burhan Muzzafar Wani was shot dead by security forces along with two of his accomplices in Kokernag area, 83 km from Srinagar.
A resident of Tral, in the outskirts of Srinagar city, Burhan carried a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh on his head while Sartaz, who was a re-cycled terrorist, was involved in many terror related incidents.
Curfew-like restrictions were imposed in parts of Kashmir, including Srinagar city, and Amarnath yatra suspended as authorities apprehended protests in the Valley, where tension prevailed following the killing of the Hizbul Mujahideen commander by security forces.
Top separatist leaders including Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik were placed under house arrest Friday night as they had called for a shutdown on Saturday.
The two factions of the Hurriyat had planned funeral prayers in absentia for the slain militants. Radical women's outfit Dukhtaran-e-Millat chief Aasiya Andrabi called for a three-day shutdown.
11 persons including three policemen have been injured during the clashes. Groups of youths pelted stones at police posts and police stations at Bandipora, Qazigund and Larnoo in Anantnag district, a police official said.
Stone pelting incidents were also reported from Sheeri, Kreeri, Delina, Pattan and Palhalan areas of north Kashmir's Baramulla district, the official said, adding Barsoo and Shariefabad in Awantipora area of south Kashmir also saw violent protests.
His last video had appeared on the social network after the killing of three policemen at Anantnag in South Kashmir last month in which he had threatened to carry out more attacks.
Burhan, who carried a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh on his head, is believed to have taken up the gun to avenge his elder brother's humiliation by the security forces who made him do squats after picking him up for no crime.
Innumerable images of Burhan and posts extolling him were uploaded on social networking sites like Facebook which the security agencies had got removed but that did not erase his popularity.
