Extortions and robberies of private persons

Raids on private houses and extortions at gun point have become commonplace in the Kashmir valley. In all cases, the fear of being killed compels the residents to part wlth whatever valuables they may possess. The fear of reprisal also prevents the victims from reporting to the police. For every case registered with the police, many more have remained unreported. The gun can render even the bravest of men powerless. By targeting those who cannot protect themselves the terrorists have been guilty of cowardice of the worst order.

Appeal to Mujahideen Islam

During the night 19/20th January some unidentified gunmen stole two carpets measuring 3'x5' from my industry at Dhobipura, Ganderbal. I appeal to the Mujahideen Islam's district Chief Commander to help me to get my carpets back. I am a poor man and make my earning on this business. A number of such cases have taken place in the Ganderbal area in last few months.
