In the last two weeks, nearly 40 women in the Kashmir Valley have found their hair grabbed and chopped off, often while in or near their home. Most of the cases took place during the day or in the evening, according to the police, which says the women have refused, despite filing complaints, to offer details of the attack or clues that could help identify the offender.
Six lakhs is now being offered as a reward for any information on the braid-chopping, blamed by separatists and locals on security forces who they say are using the forced hair-cuts as an intimidation tactic. To prevent panic and misreporting and self-styled vigilante groups who have begun rounding up and attacking people they randomly identify as the attacker, mobile internet services were cut off in the Valley for over 5-6 hours today as protests were held by separatists after Friday prayers. However, it is likely to be restored by evening.

People in Kashmir are in panic. Self styled vigilante groups are roaming on streets to nab the culprits buthave only caught and beaten innocents so far. These braid cutters use some kind of spray which makes women unconcious and allow them to cut the hair and escape within a matter of 2-3 minutes.
People are blaming Indian agencies for using this new tool to terrorize people and create panic so that people get busy with it and forget about important political issues.
Braid chopping incidents were also reported in other parts of India in previous months but that is being considered as a mere eyewash so that Indian agencies can say that it was happening in other places too.
In 1990s, Indian agencies had used a similar policy by spreading rumours of a witch who attacks people with its long nails. This was done so that people would stay indoors and not protest but the ploy obviously didnt work for long because people of J&K dont believe in things like a witch. lol.
