Srinagar, February 04, 2018 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, two Kashmiri students who were assaulted in Haryana by a group of over 15 Hindu hooligans have refuted the Haryana police version that they were beaten after a scuffle between the two sides. The victim students – Aftab Ahmad and Amjad Ali, of Rajouri district- told Srinagar-based newspaper over phone that “no scuffle took place and they were beaten up by the goons without any reason.”
The students were thrashed by miscreants in Mahendargarh town when they were returning to their university after offering Friday prayers at the town’s Jamia Masjid. Both the students are pursuing post-graduation in Geography at Central University of Haryana and are in their final year. Director General of Haryana Police B S Sandhu said, “It was a scuffle between the two groups after an accident.” However, the students and their friends refuted the police version that they were involved in a scuffle.
Meanwhile, the beating of Kashmiri students in Haryana has perturbed the parents, whose wards are studying in different colleges and universities in India. The parents said that once their wards leave Kashmir, the students often face vicious verbal and physical abuse. They also maintained that harassment of Kashmir students has become a routine affair in India.
