Kashmiri Pandit Activist Arrested Over Cyberterrorism Threats to Migrant Workers
Kashmiri Pandit activist Rakesh Handoo was arrested in Faridabad under cyberterrorism charges related to circulating threatening digital materials targeting migrant workers in Kashmir. The arrest followed a complaint by a government employee and an FIR registered under the Information Technology Act.

Handoo's supporters have questioned the charges and called for a fair investigation. Police maintain they have substantial evidence and had issued prior summons before his arrest.
