A group of Kashmiri Pandits staged a protest here on Monday alleging that an apple orchard owned by a member of the community was vandalised by miscreants in South Kashmir.

The protesters alleged that the incident was aimed at creating a sense of insecurity among the minority community in Kashmir and demanded arrest of the culprits.

“I came to Jammu last week from Kashmir. Two days ago, I received a call that my apple orchard at Akura village of Anantnag district has been vandalised,” Ajay Raina, owner of the orchard, said.

All State Kashmiri Pandit Conference (ASKPC) general secretary TK Bhat said, “We want the culprits to be arrested and punished severely.” — PTI
