On Tuesday evening, security forces surrounded a house n the Ganowpora village following specific intelligence inputs about two militants hiding there.
As soon as the villagers heard the gunshots, they came out pelting stones at the security personnel to breach the cordon.
The police said tear gas was used to disperse the protesters resulting in the death of 20-year-old Adil Farooq.
All schools and colleges were shut down as a preventive measure against any protest by students.
Heavy deployment of police and paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) have been made in the city and in the district headquarters to maintain law and order.
