A Kashmiri driver was allegedly assaulted by unidentified goons in the Udhampur district of Jammu Kashmir.
Speaking to The Kashmiriyat, his brother said that on Wednesday evening a driver identified as Mohammed Ishaq Kholi, 28, a resident of Shopian was assaulted by goons for unknown reasons in the Mansar area of Udhampur district.
His brother said that the goons who were in a four-wheeler stopped their vehicle and stopped Ishaq’s vehicle that was on the way from Jammu-Srinagar and forced Ishaq to get out of the truck. “Before Ishaq could even say a word, they hit his head with a bottle of alcohol they were drinking and later assaulted him,” his brother said.
Ishaq was rescued by other Kashmiri drivers only after the attackers had escaped from the spot. “He has received injuries on his head and is being taken to the hospital,” his brother claimed.
Meanwhile, several Kashmiri drivers have reached the spot and are protesting against the culprits and demanding immediate action in the matter.
