Kashmiri Pharmacy Students in Bhopal Allege Harassment, Police Investigate
Two Kashmiri pharmacy students in Bhopal allege harassment and pressure to vacate their paying guest accommodation due to their Muslim identity and regional background. Selected under the Prime Minister's Special Scholarship Scheme, they live in PG housing as their college lacks hostel facilities. The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association has sought Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's intervention, urging police and administration to investigate and ensure the students' safety. Bhopal police have initiated inquiries, engaging with local residents and stakeholders.
