The boy identified as Junaid Ahmed Akhoon, son of Ghulam Ahmed, resident of Saidapora area of Eidgah sustained grave pellet injuries in his head and chest in the forces’ action yesterday afternoon.

He was rushed to SKIMS Soura in a critical condition where doctors admitted him in the ICU.
Sources in the SKIMS said that he succumbed to his injuries around 2 AM. His body was driven to his home around 6 AM.

“It were the attendants of Junaid and other patients who raised hue and cry outside the ICU after Junaid stopping taking breaths,” sources said. “It was only then that doctors declared him dead otherwise everyone, including doctors, were silent about the kid.”

A school boy, Junaid, was single son of his parents among three children.

With the death of Junaid, the civilian death toll since July 09, 2016 has reached 94. At least 15000 others have been injured while thousands were jailed including 489 those who were booked under draconian Public Safety Act.
