Punjab cops ‘profiling’ J&K students

JALANDHAR: Punjab police has started collecting details about Kashmiri students at institutions across the state. Police circulated a form asking for various details of students from outside Punjab. They are also seeking Aadhaar details, leading to fears among many Kashmiri students that the police is singling them out.

Details are being sought after three Kashmiri students were arrested, allegedly with weapons, including an assault rifle and explosives. tnn

Punjab DGP Suresh Arora claimed the three were part of a module of the terror outfit, Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGH).

SC in its September 26 order had struck down the provision in the Aadhaar law allowing sharing of data on the ground of national security.
