A shocking assault on an 18-year-old Kashmiri in Uttarakhand’s Vikas Nagar has led to immediate police intervention and assurances of tough action. Alerted by the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association, DGP Deepam Seth took personal cognizance, signaling zero tolerance.
Vikas Nagar police registered an FIR under BNS 117(2) and 352. Prime suspect Sanjay Yadav is in custody; a secondary suspect is being pursued. The investigation prioritizes openness and efficiency, per official statements.
DGP Seth firmly addressed the elephant in the room: the state will crush any communal violence or threats. Kashmiri students’ safety, honor, and entitlements are paramount, with exemplary punishment to nip recurrence in the bud.
While commending the quick arrests, the association decried the attack as emblematic of profiling and crowd aggression against hardworking Kashmiris. Justice demands a prompt, unbiased process to exemplify consequences.
The incident fuels worries in Kashmiri circles across Uttarakhand, spurring pleas for tranquility. Authorities assure comprehensive probing, vowing no leniency for culprits.
Amid these assurances, the event spotlights the imperative for sustained vigilance to protect vulnerable groups and preserve Uttarakhand’s reputation for peace.
