Clashes broke out between protestors and police personnel in many places in the city as youths stoned vehicles carrying people to the rally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi here.
Gowhar Ahmad Dar, a resident of Zainakote, was hit by a tear gas shell on his head near his house on Srinagar-Baramulla road this afternoon, they said.
The youth was rushed to SKIMS hospital at Soura in critical condition, where doctors conducted a surgery on him but he succumbed to his injuries, officials said.
Seven persons, including two police constables, were injured in the stone-pelting incidents, they said.
Some vehicles were also damaged in stone-pelting in different parts of the valley, the officials said.
