Kashmiri students allegedly attacked after Ind vs Pak

After Team India lost to Pakistan in yesterday’s T20 Cricket World Cup match, a scuffle broke out in Punjab University. Several Kashmiri students alleged that they had been attacked in Bhai Gurdas Institute of Engineering and Technology, Sangrur.

"We were watching the match here and some students from Uttar Pradesh forcibly came inside. We are here to study," a Kashmiri student said in a video that has surfaced on social media platforms.

The video shows the damage that has been done to the room and the students’ injuries.


Police are still investigating the matter.

Omar Abdullah, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister has appealed to the Chief Minister of Punjab to look into the situation.

He said in a tweet, “It is distressing to hear about the incidents of physical & verbal assault against some Kashmiri students in a college in Punjab last night. I request @CHARANJITCHANNI ji to direct @PunjabPoliceInd to look in to this & also to reassure the students studying in Punjab.”
