Dehradun: Fear and panic have gripped Kashmiri students across the country following open threats and targeted violence in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack. The Hindu Raksha Dal on Thursday (April 24) issued online threats to Kashmiri students living in Uttarakhand’s Dehradun, asking them to leave the state immediately. This happened two days after the Pahalgam terror attack in which around 26 people were killed brutally.
Scared by the threats issued through videos floating on social media platforms, the Kashmiri students approached the police, seeking protection. Dehradun SSP Ajai Singh said he held a meeting with the circle officers and the SHOs of different police stations after receiving complaints in this regard and asked them to stay vigilant and in touch with the Kashmiri students to keep them safe.
Inform police at the earliest: Dehradun Police
SSP Singh said educational institutions where Kashmiri students study and managers of PGs where they stay have been asked to inform the police immediately in case of any perceived threat to their safety in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.
