He was referred to the SMHS hospital here after his condition worsened at a Anantnag hospital late on Sunday, the officials added.
They said Wani succumbed to burn injuries half past midnight.
Wani, along with his son Jasir Bilal, was picked up by police for questioning in connection with the terror module case. While Bilal was subsequently released, his son remains in custody for questioning, they said.

While Muzaffar is currently believed to be in Afghanistan, his younger brother, Dr Adeel Rather, was arrested from Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh on November 6.
The doctors arrested in connection with the "white-collar terror module" had collectively raised over Rs 26 lakh to procure materials used in the deadly blast near Red Fort, an official said on Thursday.
