While the locals have termed his death as a targeted killing, the police have denied these allegations.
He was leading the stone pelters when and a shell hit him. It is not a case of target killing, the police have said. The doctors who examined him said that he was hit by a shell from close range which led to blood loss. Locals said Wani used to be present at the funeral of every militant or civilian killed in south Kashmir, especially in Pulwama district.
