Homes destroyed and 1,500 detained in Kashmir as India cracks down following attacks https://www.npr.org/2025/04/27/nx-s1-5378630/india-kashmir-pakistan-crackdown-homes-destroyed By Bilal Kuchay Omkar Khandekar April 27, 2025. Indian authorities have detained at least 1,500 people in India-administered Kashmir after a militant attack killed 26 people last week, a top police officer told NPR. Several homes linked to alleged militants were also destroyed.
In recent years, the Indian government has often ordered demolition of houses of those accused of criminal activity, often using bulldozers. Thanks to these incidents, India's ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party has been charged with deploying "bulldozer justice" — destroying homes and livelihoods of the minority Muslim community.
"Such acts serve the agenda of the right-wing on both sides," said Mehdi, the Kashmiri legislator. "The terrorists that killed these innocents in Pahalgam, and the other right-wing, that wants to communalize this country."
