Facts Check Analysis: The Media was buzzing with lots of messages related that Mob is everywhere, we’re scared’: In Dehradun, Kashmiri students lock themselves in rooms fearing attacks.

Dehradun police refuted this claims, it said on the social media that, This is not true ...Police sorted out d issue ..There r no crowds .. Initially there was an allegation that kashmiri students raised pro pakistan slogans.


The Uttarakhand Police clearly said that Don’t believe in Rumours.
 

CRPF helpline also confirmed via a tweet that having contacted the local authorities in the Dolphin College as well as local authorities, no such situation exists.

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.”

Hence the rumors assumed by Shehla Rashid and many others are not true.
