This seems like an attack against a Kashmiri woman named Noor Bhat (Fiza Manzoor Bhat). The media reports suggested that the Kashmiri woman was assaulted and abused by her landlady and a man in Delhi’s Lajpat Nagar. Noor Bhat, who belongs to Srinagar in Kashmir, had taken to Twitter to claim that her landlady entered the house with a man whom “she had never seen before”. She alleged that the landlady called her and her friends a ‘terrorist’ right in front of police officials because they were from Kashmir. Her belongings were stolen from her rented flat and the landlady counter filed a complaint on her. Noor Bhat took to Twitter to put her story, the ‘liberal-secular’ as the story went viral, many social media users took to Twitter to express their solidarity with the Kashmiri woman and condemned the landlady for attacking and abusing the Kashmiri woman by referring to her as a ‘terrorist’.
