#BREAKING: Two teachers killed in broad daylight in Srinagar, Kashmir - both from minority community of Sikh and Kashmiri Pandits. The teachers identified as Satinder Kour and Deepak Chand. IG Kashmir Vijay Kumar confirms the development. Security forces have reached the spot.

This is the Government Boys Higher Secondary School in Iddhah area of Srinagar where the terrorists killed two Sikh and Hindu teachers today. The school is now a security fortress.

Who will protect the minority Kashmiri Hindus and Sikhs of Kashmir?

Is anyone listening?

This silence is deafening.

J&K Police had Intel inputs about possible killings of minority community in Kashmir.

Government failed to protect minority Hindus & Sikhs in valley. You can’t imagine the fear psychosis.

And where are those who said these are not religious killings?

Names of the two victims killed today in the senseless barbaric Islamist terror attack in Kashmir are Supinder Kour and Deepak Chand. Supinder is from Budgam in Kashmir while Deepak is from Patoli Mangotrian in Jammu.

Prayers. Rest in Peace.
Om Shaanti!

J&K Police sources have now confirmed that all teachers of the school were lined up in Srinagar. ID Cards and Mobiles phones were checked. All were interrogated by terrorists. Most teachers were let go. Presumably Muslims. Hindu and Sikh teacher were killed.

Supinder Kour was the principal of the Srinagar school where she was killed. Her mother in mourning at their home in Kashmir screams in tears that terrorists should have killed her instead of her daughter. This is heart wrenching. May almighty give courage to the family.
