A Delhi-Srinagar passenger bus was allegedly attacked near Kurukshetra in Haryana on Saturday night, leaving an elderly passenger injured, according to a report. Following the purported incident, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah spoke to the Haryana government, which assured him of stringent action against the culprits.
A group of men objected to the vehicle being parked near a hotel for a dinner break and assaulted him, according to the driver of the bus which was allegedly attacked. The driver, Waqar, said the bus had stopped at the Divine Star Hotel in Nilokheri, beyond Karnal, when the incident occurred, according to news agency ANI.

Abdullah said the Haryana administration had assured him that prompt and stringent action would be taken in accordance with the law. “The J&K Government stands with the affected passengers and is closely monitoring the situation,” he said in a post on his official X handle. I hope the Haryana government led by @NayabSainiBJP ji and @police_haryana catch the culprits and take action to ensure these things don’t happen again,” he said. In a statement to ANI, Thakur said, “The Bharatiya Janata Party condemns this incident, and we appeal to the Haryana chief minister to take the strictest possible action against those involved in the attack on this Kashmiri bus.”
