In a sign of frustration, a terror group has issued at least three terror threats in a month to a section of people in Kashmir, particularly the migrant Pandit employees.
The dreaded Kashmir Fight terror portal has issued as many as three terror threat lists within 30 days prompting the Union Home Secretary to personally review the investigations.
The first such terror threat list was released by the terror portal in mid-November whereas two more lists were subsequently released. While the first list was linked some media houses and their team members, the next two threat lists have been about the victimized Pandit community.
In the latest, the terror group issued a fresh threat to Kashmiri Pandit government employees and threatened to carry out more targeted killings. In a letter addressed to Kashmiri Pandit employees, the terror group warned that they would turn transit colonies of Kashmiri Pandits into ‘graveyards’.
The threat came hours after the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha visited the under-construction site of the transit colonies of Kashmiri Pandit government employees in Baramulla and Bandipora.
The terror groups have also threatened contractors involved in the construction of new transit colonies for Kashmiri Pandit government employees.
Earlier this month, the terror group threatened 57 Kashmiri Pandit employees working in the Kashmir valley as teachers under the Prime Minister’s Rehabilitation Package. Kashmiri Pandits and non-Kashmiri migrants have been targeted by terrorists in the Kashmir since the start of 2021.
A senior officer told the Early Times on the condition of anonymity that the cases were probed by a “special cell” of the police department on priority basis.
He said a group of senior police officials and cyber experts are working on case as already “multiple FIRs have been filed.”
It was reliably learnt that the union home secretary is personally monitoring the issue and that it has been conveyed to the Jammu and Kashmir Police to ensure security of the migrant employees on priority.
“He(Union Home Secy) is taking regular briefings on the issue,” said a source.
