An elderly man from downtown Srinagar who was injured in a road accident over the weekend succumbed at hospital on Thursday, reports said.
They said Ghulam Muhammad Lone (80) of Ganderpora Safa Kadal was hit by a motorcycle on Sunday evening while he was coming of a chemist shop, injuring him grievously.
Khan, they said, was shifted to SMHS hospital for treatment where he succumbed today.
Quoting eye-witnesses, reports said that the motorcyclist fled after hitting the elderly man, who was a muezzin (who recites call to prayer) at the local mosque.
They said that the family has demanded that the culprit should be penalised even as the police have registered a case.
