SRINAGAR: Three Kashmiri students have been beaten by a group of student for not shouting slogans against Pakistan in a University in Utar Pradesh on Monday, reports said.

Around 100 Kashmiri students later protested with their bags packed against the university officials for their failure to provide them security and inaction.
Media reports suggested that six students forcefully entered the room of the Kashmiri students and beat them and made them shout anti-Pakistan slogans.

“I am sending the Resident Commissioner from Delhi to visit the University in question to ascertain all the facts before deciding next steps,” Omar said in another Tweet.
