Kashmiri Students Face Backlash Post Red Fort Blast, NIA Probes Terror Module
After a big explosion happened in Delhi, some students from Kashmir who are studying in other parts of India say they are being treated unfairly.
A group called JKSA says landlords are making them leave their homes and people are being mean to them.
They are asking the Prime Minister to speak out and tell everyone to be kind and fair.
Meanwhile, police are investigating the explosion and have arrested some people, including doctors who they believe might be connected to a group planning bad things.
They are looking into how this group got money and weapons, using special phone chats to communicate.
Kashmiri students across northern India face profiling, eviction, and intimidation after the Red Fort blast.
Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) urges PM Modi to intervene and stop alleged vilification of Kashmiri students.
JKSA claims Kashmiri students are being harassed in universities and localities, with landlords forcing them to vacate accommodations out of fear.
NIA investigates a terror module linked to the blast, detaining individuals including two doctors from Al Falah University.
Security tightened at Patiala House court as NIA presents accused Jasir Bilal, who allegedly provided technical support for the attack.
