Dr. Nazir Choudhary, medical superintendent of Shri Maharaja Hari Singh Hospital, identified the deceased as Manzoor Ahmad Khan, 65, of Masheli Mohalla, Hawal, Srinagar.

"He succumbed to his injuries this morning," Choudhary said.

Three days ago, a 12-year-old boy from Srinagar also died after sustaining injuries at the same site.

Meanwhile, clashes have been reported in Rainawari, Eidgah and Hawal areas of Srinagar today after the news of the death of the elderly man spread.

In the gun battle, around 15 residential houses got damaged at Nawakadal area of the city. -
