After this incident took place, the security forces and police launched a search operation to find out the arsonists behind this incident. After the news of Bhat came into the limelight, many people are taking social media for expressing their deep condolence for him. The former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah alleged that the central government had failed to provide security to the common people.
He tweeted,” Very sad and disturbed to hear about the killing of a Kashmiri Pandit. This killing will create fear among others also. The security situation is worsening in the Kashmir Valley and the government is busy presenting a fake rosy picture of Kashmir. All is not well in Kashmir”. Several politicians came ahead to tweet and revealed the situation of Jammu and Kashmir. Last month, two motorcyclist-terrorists opened fire at a Kashmiri Pandit shopkeeper in the Chotogam area of South Kashmir’s Shopian district. Later, the victim was identified as Sonu Kumar who survived in this attack.
A Twitter user named Fatima Dar tweeted,” Another targeted killing of #Kashmiripandit, is highly condemned.. He was not on any combat and working to feed his family. Why was he killed? These perpetrators of terror are the worst scar on the teachings of Islam and on humanity!”.
