Soon after the news of beating students reached the area, locals staged protest and demanded action against the army men involved in the incident.
Locals alleged that thrashing civilians without provocation, snatching mobile phones and calling to camp has become order of the day in the area.
“Army has made our life hell and we don’t feel secure now even in our houses,” Locals told The Kashmiriyat.
