A group of Kashmiris held a protest-cum-candle light vigil outside the Krishna Dhaba, a famous vegetarian joint in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, a day after its owner's son succumbed to his injuries, 11 days after terrorists had shot at him.

Akash Mehra was the only surviving son of the Krishna Dhaba owner. He was 22-year-old.

He was shot outside his shop located in the high-security zone in Sonwar on February 18.

Akash Mehra had just joined his father's business a few days ago before this incident.
