Srinagar - Another participant of the Mughal Road Car Rally injured in an accident Sunday died in a hospital here Tuesday.
"Ashish Mahajan, the injured navigator of the car rally who was admitted to Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences Soura yesterday (Monday), died today," Aamir Ali, disaster management cell in-charge at the provincial headquarters, told IANS.
"Earlier, the driver, Jitender Singh, died after the car fell into a gorge in Sinthan," Ali said.
