After the civilian was killed in clashes, authorities suspended mobile internet services in south Kashmir's Pulwama district. Off late, Shah, who carried a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh on his head, was recruiting fresh cadres for the militant outfit.

Huda joined Persela in 1999 and had made more than 500 appearances for the club.

However, things turned critical and Huda was rushed to the Dr Soegiri Lamongan General Hospital in Lamongan where he was declared dead at 5.15pm local time in the company of his teammates. For whatever reason, the impact led Huda to stop breathing, where he eventually suffered cardiac arrest.

The match continued, with Persela beating Semen Padang 2-0.

In an Instagram message dedicated to Huda, Persela said: "Thanks for the endless dedication and inspiration for Persela, Lamongan and Indonesian football".
