The police has started an investigation to ascertain the background of a mysterious handwritten poster, claiming to be from the Lashkar-e-Toiba, which asked girls to “strictly follow the Islamic dress code” in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district.
The poster, which was put up in Aharihal village of Pulwama district, created panic among local villagers.
“It was a single poster that was put up in the village. It didn’t have any seal and it mainly asked girls to strictly follow the Islamic dress code. The locals were also asked to desist from helping the security forces. It does not look genuine but we are looking into the case,” Pulwama SP Amit Kumar said.
Kumar said there was no mention of any threat to the elected panchayat members in the poster.
