A controversy had broken out on Monday after another Kashmiri research scholar, Umar Rashid, was attacked by alleged right-wing activists on the university campus. The increasing hostility has reportedly forced a number of Kashmiri students to leave the city. The attackers reportedly asked Rashid, a native of Pampore, to leave Bhopal by evening or face the consequences. A Kashmiri research scholar from Barkatullah University was assaulted by alleged right-wing activists on Wednesday morning, in the second incident of the kind to occur over a period of three days. Ahmed said the culprits were terming the attack as their “response” to the occurrences in Kashmir.
