Around 6,000 people took part in the sit-in on the Sher Shah Suri Road with caskets and bodies of family members who were killed on Tuesday.
Apart of relatives of the victims, students and other tribesmen from Peshwar and other adjoining areas joined the protest. Blaming security forces deployed at Khyber Agency for the killings, protesters chanted slogans against them. "We demand court martial for the security forces involved," they said.
Ahmed Afridi, a young tribal from the Bara area, said, "The people being killed are not militants, they are innocent tribesmen. The security forces have killed them brutally."
The protest turned violent with the crowd stoning the vehicle of National Assembly member Hamidullah Jan Afridi. His guard opened fire at the tribesmen leaving one injured
