A shocking incident has emerged where a luxury sleeper bus operating between Delhi and Srinagar was allegedly targeted with stone-pelting in Haryana. According to claims circulating on social media, the attack took place near Kurukshetra on a vehicle bearing a Jammu and Kashmir registration number. Reports indicate that an elderly Kashmiri passenger sustained injuries during the commotion. However, the complete details of the incident and the motives behind the stone-pelting remain unverified independently at this stage.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah strongly reacted to the development, urging the Haryana government and police to investigate the matter thoroughly and take strict action against those responsible. Writing on the social media platform X, Omar Abdullah stated that such unfortunate incidents should not be allowed to happen. He expressed hope that the Haryana administration under the leadership of Nayab Singh Saini and the local police would apprehend the culprits and take decisive action to prevent any recurrence.
Imran Nabi Dar highlights the issue
The incident came to light after Jammu and Kashmir National Conference leader Imran Nabi Dar shared a post detailing the attack on the bus. His social media disclosure prompted widespread attention and subsequently drew a direct response from Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
Imran Nabi Dar alleged that the transport vehicle was targeted specifically because it was carrying Kashmiri passengers. He noted that an elderly traveler was hurt in the course of the assault. The shared posts also claimed that families on board were gripped by fear and felt completely helpless during the ordeal. Strongly condemning the episode, Dar demanded that the Haryana police treat the matter with utmost seriousness, identify the perpetrators, and initiate legal proceedings against them.
Viral visuals show extensive damage
Footage and photographs related to the incident are widely circulating across various social media networks. The visuals depict visible damage inflicted upon the luxury sleeper bus. According to online posts, the vehicle's window panes were shattered, the rear lights were broken, and the registration plate was twisted from the impact. The bus is reportedly operated by Star World Ventures on the Delhi-Srinagar route.
Despite the viral claims, it has not yet been independently established who carried out the attack or what specific motives drove it. The allegation that Kashmiri travelers were deliberately targeted forms a key part of the ongoing concerns. A definitive picture regarding the exact causes and the identities of those involved will emerge only after a formal and thorough investigation concludes.
