Follow up:
Kashmir remained shut in response to a bandh called by the Muttahida Majlis-e-Mushawrat, a council of separatists, spearheading the demand for the return of the mortal remains of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru and Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front leader Maqbool Bhat.
The civilian has been identified as Altaf Ahmad Wani (24), a resident of Saidpora locality of Srinagar.
A police spokesman said Wani was shot when CRPF personnel, who were returning from the Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) at Soura, came “under the attack of stone-throwers” at Saidpora.
“This resulted in opening of fire. As a result, Altaf Ahmad Wani, a resident of Saidpora, was seriously injured,” the police spokesman said.
He said the CRPF personnel had gone to the hospital to donate blood for their colleagues who were injured in a militant attack in the Bemina area on the city outskirts today.
A local resident, however, said no protests were going on in the area when the firing took place.
Wani was taken to SKIMS where he died. The hospital authorities said Wani was taken to the operation theatre where he died. “He had bled extensively and we straightaway took him to the operation theatre,” said Director of SKIMS Showkat Zargar.
The hospital official said Wani had suffered an injury in the chest.
The killing of the youth increased tension in Srinagar city as hundreds gathered to offer his funeral prayers.
Soon after Wani’s death, protests erupted in the old city, including at Aali Masjid, Eidgah, Darish Kadal and Nawab Bazar, which were continuing till the reports last came in.
The government has announced imposition of curfew in entire Srinagar district from midnight today till further orders.
A government spokesman confirmed that the authorities had ordered the imposition of restrictions across the city till further orders.
Meanwhile, markets, offices, banks and universities remained closed across the Valley and transport services in most parts of the region remained suspended.
Kashmir has remained on the edge since February 9 when Afzal Guru was hanged in New Delhi’s Tihar Jail.
Three civilians have been killed so far in the aftermath of Afzal’s hanging while two drowned while being chased by police and paramilitary personnel. An auto-rickshaw driver died after he was beaten up by stone-throwers.
