A surge of communal violence targeting Muslims has erupted across India following the June 20 Pahalgam terror attack, with reports of assaults on Kashmiri students, denial of medical care to a pregnant woman, and a fatal shooting in Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kashmiri Muslim students faced brutal attacks in at least six states, including Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. At Chandigarh\u2019s Universal Group of Institutes, mobs armed with sharp weapons assaulted Kashmiri hostel residents, while Hindutva group Hindu Raksha Dal issued ultimatums demanding their expulsion from Uttarakhand. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah confirmed coordination with affected states to ensure student safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Kolkata gynecologist, Dr. C.K. Sarkar, refused treatment to a Muslim patient, citing the Pahalgam attack as justification. \u201cAfter the Kashmir incident, I\u2019m not seeing any Muslim patients,\u201d he allegedly stated, prompting outrage from activists like Mehfuza Khatun, who called it \u201cblatant discrimination.\u201d Medical ethics watchdogs are investigating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In Agra, Muslim restaurant worker Gulfam was shot dead by assailants claiming to avenge the Pahalgam attack. A since-deleted video showed armed men\u2014identifying as cow vigilantes\u2014vowing to \u201ckill 2,600 Muslims\u201d for the 26 Hindu victims. Police dismissed the communal angle, attributing the murder to a \u201cfood dispute,\u201d contradicting survivor Saif Ali\u2019s testimony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann pledged student protection, Uttar Pradesh police downplayed the Agra killing\u2019s communal motive. Civil society groups warn these incidents reflect systemic anti-Muslim bias exacerbated by the Pahalgam fallout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
