In spite of Uttarakhand Police statement that this rumors are not true, Shehla Rashid was quick enough to comment again telling “Rather than gaslighting the victims, @uttarakhandcops should try explaining why repeated news of attacks on Kashmiris are coming in from Dehradun. Try setting your house in order, rather than trying to discredit the victims.”
