And more news like this. I have been told by a WhatsApp admin who runs a news group how the police took his mobile phone and returned it back after some time and he has been warned multiple times to not post any news critical to india.
I believe they install this nso spyware or something similar on their phones so they get to know what is spreading and who is doing what.

i have friends who have been pulled from a public bus, their phones checked and one guy was beaten for having a vpn app and another one was forced to show his whatsapp when they proceeded to beat him for having "incendiary content". basically photos and memes critical of government
just a few days ago this kid was killed, heck his throat was first slit. the police say he joined militancy on 18th june but locals say he played cricket and scored runs on 28th of june so who knows.
then you have multiple times when the army and the police was found to have conducted fake encounters where they killed innocent civilians in the name of getting prize money.
few week ago there was the grenade attack in srinagar but that was immediately after the all party meeting with the drone attack that caused another stir.locals belive these are diversionary tactics.
