Mukarram was taken to a hospital, but he succumbed to his injuries, police said.
Senior army officers of the Sub Area of Karnataka and Kerala said that in the early hours of Sunday around 0100 hrs IST, a man managed to enter the Flag Staff House.
After a thorough search the sentries on guard saw a person on the top of the house.
