According to an official, these incidents indicate that terrorists are targeting people from other states. Other victims of these incidents include Makhan Lal Bindru, a well-known Kashmiri Pandit and drug shop owner in Srinagar, Mohammad Shafi Lone, a taxi driver, teachers Deepak Chand and Supinder Kaur, and street food seller Virendra Paswan.
These killings have created fear among the people of the valley, and many families of Kashmir Pandits have come to the transit camps. Dozens of families, including government employees, have left the area. Following these attacks, the police have launched a massive operation and around 900 people have been detained across the Union Territory for their alleged links with the separatists.
Security forces have also intensified operations against terrorists. According to the administration, more than a dozen terrorists have been killed during the last one week.
