Dehradun sources stated that Director General of Police Ashok Kumar on Sunday dispelled reports of Kashmiri students being attacked in Dehradun in the aftermath of the Pulwama terror attack, and asserted that "everything is normal." He told “Rumors are being spread on social media that girls here are not safe. Everything is normal here. We are providing full protection to everyone”.
Meanwhile the statement comes after media reports suggested that Kashmiri students had to lock themselves up in order to remain safe as mob violence erupted over the ghastly terror attack in Pulwama. Earlier on Saturday, the police had arrested a Kashmiri student in for allegedly making insensitive and communal posts on social media in the wake of the terror attack and the complainant alleged that the accused had attempted to provoke communal tension by making defamatory comments on Facebook and WhatsApp.
Moreover in this regard, Kumar said action will be taken against those who talk or post anti-national things on social media. Further in the deadliest attack on security forces in Kashmir, 40 CRPF personnel were killed on Thursday when their convoy was targeted by a suspected suicide bomber of Pakistan-backed Jaish-e-Mohammad on Srinagar-Jammu National Highway.
