Eleven days after being fired upon, Akash Kumar, son of Rasmesh Kumar Mehra—owner of popular eatery (Krishna Dhaba)—succumbed to the wounds at a hospital in Srinagar, officials said on Sunday.
Akash (25), a resident of Janipur Jammu, at present Dalgate Srinagar, died at the SMHS hospital at around 3:20 a.m, the officials said.
Akash had a bullet wound in the right side of lower armpit and abdomen. He was on a ventilator, the officials said.
On February 19, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kashmir Vijay Kumar while addressing a press conference in Srinagar said that three newly recruited militants were arrested for carrying out the attack.
The IGP had said that the bike and the pistol used in the attack by the trio have been seized by the police.
He added that all three arrested were newly recruited militants and “confessed” to have carried out the attack. (GNS)
