Terror threats against Kashmiri Pandits

Notes

• Panun Kashmir, a Jammu-based organisation, has reported online threats issued by the 'United Liberation Council' targeting Kashmiri Pandits.
• The threat communication, dated August 7, allegedly contains personal details including telephone numbers, family information, and workplace locations of specific community members.
• The threats have led to Kashmiri Pandit employees, working under the Prime Minister’s rehabilitation package, taking leave from their duties in sensitive areas.
• Concerns have been raised regarding whether the threats constitute psychological warfare or indicate actual surveillance, profiling, and reconnaissance of targeted individuals.
• Demands have been made for a formal investigation into the source of the information and a comprehensive threat assessment by security agencies.
• Recent security incidents in South Kashmir, including the targeted killing of a policeman and two non-local labourers, have contributed to a heightened sense of insecurity in the region.
