Burhan Wani, 22, educated and media savvy, had emerged as the poster boy of terrorism. He was killed in a gunfight with security forces on July 8 in the Kokernag area of south Kashmir.
News of his death sparked massive protests across Kashmir, with thousands coming to attend his funeral.
Over 70 people have died in clashes with security forces in Kashmir Valley since Wani's death.
