Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir): A 30-year-old man was injured when a stone hit his head during stone-pelting incident in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district, a police officer said on Tuesday.
Mohammad Yaseen Bhat of Gongoo area was hit by a stone in Pulwama area on Monday night, resulting in head injury, the officer said.
He has been admitted in SMHS (Shri Maharaja Hari Singh) Hospital, Srinagar, the officer added.
On August 6 when the Parliament cleared the resolution to withdraw Jammu and Kashmir's special status the stone-pelting incidents rose by three times more.
After the withdrawal of special status for Jammu and Kashmir, miscreants got active mostly in Srinagar, followed by Pulwama, Baramulla and Bandipore districts.
On August 25, a 42-year-old truck driver Noor Mohmmad Dar was killed when he was hit by a stone during a stone-pelting incident in Bijbehara belt of Anantnag district.
Police said that Noor Mohammed Dar was hit by stones thrown from a lane at Bijbhera.
The stone pelters mistook his truck as a security force vehicle. The stone pierced the pane and injured the driver on his head, police added.
He was rushed to nearby Bhijbhera hospital from where he was referred to SKIMS in Srinagar where he was declared brought dead, said police.
Meanwhile, the incidents of stone-pelting have been increased in number despite the huge deployment of central security forces in Jammu and Kashmir.
