Valley student booked in Dehradun

Dehradun/Srinagar, February 16

A Kashmiri student was booked for allegedly sending WhatsApp messages supporting the Pulwama suicide attack amid reports that students from the Valley were being harassed in the capital.

The messages shared by the student created tension and some right-wing Hindu outfits gheraoed the university, demanding immediate arrest of the student.

The student was suspended by a private university in Dehradun on Friday. Dehradun SSP Nivedita Kukreti said: “Kashmiri students pursuing different courses in institutions based in the city need not fear.” — PTI
