“It is horrifying that a 50-year-old man was attacked with acid in Pulwama. One feels deeply saddened to see that the valley, once known as ‘Peer Vear’ for the sober and peaceful nature of its people, is now frequently in the news for crimes and other distressing incidents across various areas. The perpetrators of this heinous crime must be apprehended and brought to justice as soon as possible,” read the Bukhari’s post.
