The incident has sent shockwaves across Kashmir and most of the people are in utter disbelief over the incident. While Social media users took to the internet to express their anger, the incident was discussed and denounced on the streets of Kashmir too. “We do not know, If this is the same Kashmir, Shah e Hamdan and Bul Bul Shah e Kashmir came to,” Mohammed Subhan, a senior citizen from the Khanyar area of Srinagar told The Kashmiriyat.
Irfan Ahmed, a resident of Nawa Kadal who is in his mid-20s, echoed Mohammad Subhan’s thoughts. He expressed his anguish over the flesh trade incident. “Our valley was so pious and religious. One has to understand while this may be acceptable to many people, such things as the flesh trade have no place here. It is not about women. Drinking too has no space. the social fabric in Kashmir is completely unique and people need to respect it.”
Widespread anger is being witnessed in Kashmir, the residents of several localities in Srinagar have disassociated themselves from any of the girls involved in the racket.
Speaking to the press here in Srinagar on Thursday afternoon, the residents said, the incident that has happened is unacceptable for the Tibetan community living in Jammu Kashmir. “We are living in Kashmir for more than 60 years now. We have never witnessed such an incident before. We always try to remain steadfast in our faith. News reports have said that out of the five girls arrested, one is from Tibetian Colony Since we belong to Tibetian Colony Hawa, we want to clarify that no girl from Tibetian colony is involved in the racket,” a senior member of the Tibetian community living in Kashmir valley for the past 60 years said.
Wishing to remain anonymous he said that the member of the community went to Police Station Batmaloo and spoke to the Station House officer there who told us very clearly, “Even we do not believe that the girl belongs to your community.”
The Police have clearly denied the allegations that any of them said they have seen the faces of the girls involved, he said. “We have some different facial features. We can be identified easily by anyone out there. We have mongoloid faces. Since the news is spreading like wildfire everywhere that the girl belongs to our community, it is very condemnable, but the Police have clearly denied anyone of them have facial features like Mogoloids.”
“The incident has brought disgrace to our community. If a person of our community is involved in a robbery or is involved in a brawl with other people that is also disgraceful. But this incident about the sex racket is shockingly unacceptable to us,” he told the press.
Objecting to the media reports to “defame their community”, he said, “.

The arrest of the 5 girls with regard to the sex racket, according to their statements one of the girls among them has told her residence as Tibetian Colony. We strongly condemn this statement. It is a gross misrepresentation of facts.”
“Our community is living in Kashmir for more than 60 years now. We have never witnessed any such incident before. We also try to remain steadfast in our faith. We have always tried to do so and will continue to do so,” he stated.
Calling for a proper investigation into the incident, he said that the residences told by the girls are all in Kashmir. “What if the girls reside outside Kashmir?” he questioned.
“None would tolerate such things in Kashmir. I think not a single is a person who is not moved by this incident. If this incident turns out to be true we all should hang our heads in shame. It is a very sensitive issue. It is quite obvious if the accused are arrested especially if a girl is involved. Her honour is at stake. Why would they tell their correct address?” he asked.
