A video showing youth trying to shift injured Anantnag civilian Sheeraz Ahmed to a hospital while climbing over the walls went viral on social media today. Sheeraz, however, was declared brought dead at the hospital. 

Local reports said that Sheeraz had suffered pellet injuries in his throat and head.

Reports also said that at least 17 youth sustained injuries during clashes with government forces in Ashajipora area of south Kashmir’s Anantnag. Two youth were hit with pellets and were shifted to Srinagar for specialised treatment.
