A bus operating on the Delhi-Srinagar route came under attack in Haryana on Tuesday, marking a concerning incident that has drawn high-level attention from the Jammu and Kashmir administration. According to reports, unidentified attackers damaged the vehicle's front and rear registration plates while voicing objections to the bus bearing Jammu and Kashmir registration credentials.
An elderly passenger sustained injuries during the incident, though details regarding the severity of the injury remain limited. The attackers' apparent targeting of the vehicle specifically for its origin state has raised questions about communal tensions in the region.
