Police reportedly responded with teargas and rubber pellets to break up the protest, the largest to take place since the state was placed under an unprecedented communications blackout last week.<\/p>\n<p>An Indian home affairs ministry official called the reports \u201ccompletely fabricated and incorrect\u201d.
