An 18-year-old Kashmiri student was battered in Uttarakhand after being identified as a Kashmiri Muslim, part of a series of attacks on Kashmiri vendors and students in north Indian states, as winter unemployment forces thousands of Kashmiris to migrate for work. Police have registered FIRs and made some arrests, but charges are often limited, bail is granted quickly, and repeat offenders have continued to harass Kashmiris, sometimes livestreaming the assaults.
