Mehra's son was critically wounded after he was shot at on Februa🐓ry 17 near his shop. The attack took place when the European Union delegation was in Kash൩mir to assess the situation.

"Woke up to extremely distressing news. Young Akash Mehra who was shot at by terrorists at Krishna Dhaba has succumbed to his injuries at SMHS Hospital. I share the pain and grief of his family and stand by them as they mourn this inconsolable loss.🍒 May💯 his soul rest in peace," mayor of Srinagar Junaid Azim Mattu tweeted.
