NEW DELHI - Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to scrap autonomy for Kashmir after imposing an unprecedented lockdown across the region will be tested on Friday at the United Nations Security Council after India's top court deferred a case calling on the government to lift restrictions that have been in place for the past 12 days.

A spokesman of Indian Army said it is"fictitious".
