A 40-year-old man, who sustained injuries in the violence that broke out in Maharashtra's Nagpur city earlier this week, died while undergoing treatment at a hospital on Saturday, an official said.
A hospital official said Irfan Ansari died at 1.20 pm at the Indira Gandhi Government Medical College & Hospital (IGGMCH).
He said that Ansari had been admitted with grievous wounds.
Ansari, a welder, left home around 11 pm on Monday to catch a train to Itarsi from Nagpur railway station, one of the areas affected by the violence.
Large-scale stone pelting and arson were reported in several parts of Nagpur on March 17 over rumours that a "chadar" with holy inscriptions was burnt during protests led by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) seeking the removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb바카라™s tomb, which is in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district.
The Ansari family received a call from the IGGMCH, informing them that Irfan had been admitted following an accident.
The deceased's brother Imran had earlier told PTI that Irfan suffered severe head wounds and a fractured leg and was undergoing treatment in the ICU, receiving oxygen.
The family remained unaware of what transpired during his journey to the railway station.
