A youth, Shakeel Ahmad Ganai, who was injured in Haal area of Pulwama district succumbed to his injuries at district hospital in Pulwama.
The 19-year-old Shakeel Ahmad Ganai, a student of B.A, was hit by a bullet in the chest. With this killing, the death toll in the ongoing Kashmiri Intifada has risen to 85.
