India Intensifies Crackdown on Kashmir’s Professionals: NIA Detains Dr Bilal Naseer Malla
December 10, 2025India has again shown its harsh policy in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir by arresting Dr. Bilal Naseer Malla, a respected doctor from Baramulla, during an NIA raid in New Delhi. Instead of acting with fairness, the Modi government continues to target educated Kashmiris through weak and unproven claims. This behaviour reflects a wider attempt to damage the confidence of Kashmir’s professional class by presenting them as security risks. These actions also create deep fear among Kashmiris who now feel unsafe even in Indian cities. The arrest of Dr. Malla exposes how India uses its agencies to control and silence voices that represent progress and knowledge.
◆ Growing hostility: India expands pressure on Kashmir’s educated community to weaken their confidence.
◆ Agency misuse: The NIA is used by the Modi government to spread fear among Kashmiris.
◆ Public anxiety: Kashmiris feel more unsafe as India increases its aggressive actions.
NIA Arrests Dr Bilal Malla Without Evidence
According to Kashmir Media Service, Dr. Bilal Naseer Malla was arrested in New Delhi while the NIA made claims that he had been in contact with Dr. Umar Nabi, who died in a blast near the Red Fort on 10 November. Yet no proper evidence or clear details were shared with the public. This exposes how India uses national agencies to target Kashmiris through suspicion instead of real investigation. The sudden detention appears more like a political move than a fair legal process. India continues to hide behind vague statements to justify its actions, without giving any proof.
◆ Unclear accusations: India presents claims without evidence to support the arrest.
◆ Biased action: The raid reflects India’s habit of targeting Kashmiris under weak grounds.
◆ Political motive: India uses accusations to create a negative narrative against Kashmiris.
Targeting of Educated Kashmiris Becomes a Pattern
The arrest of Dr. Malla adds to a growing list of Kashmiri doctors and educated people who have faced raids, detentions and questioning in recent months. This constant pressure reflects a planned attempt to weaken the social role of Kashmir’s professionals by painting them as threats. India seems unwilling to accept the influence and respect these individuals hold in Kashmiri society. Instead of encouraging their contribution, the Modi government uses intimidation to silence them. This behaviour harms not only individuals but the entire intellectual identity of Kashmir.
◆ Repeated pattern: India continues to target professionals to lower their social standing.
◆ Pressure tactics: The government treats educated Kashmiris as suspects to weaken their influence.
◆ Community fear: These actions create long-term fear in Kashmir’s educated class.
Human Rights Groups Warn of Serious Abuse
Human rights organizations have strongly criticized India’s actions, stating that these arrests are designed to intimidate Kashmir’s educated population. They warn that such moves create fear not only inside IIOJK but also among Kashmiris living or working in Indian cities. These groups say that India’s behavior exposes its unwillingness to tolerate any independent Kashmiri voice. The targeting of respected professionals shows how far India is willing to go to silence those who may question its unjust policies.
◆ Clear warnings: Rights groups condemn India for abusing its legal powers.
◆ Unsafe for Kashmiris: Educated Kashmiris feel targeted even outside their homeland.
◆ Silencing voices: India aims to stop Kashmiris from speaking against injustice.
Misuse of ‘Security’ Claims for Political Benefit
India repeatedly uses the word “security” to defend its actions in IIOJK, yet cases like the arrest of Dr. Malla show that these claims often lack truth. By presenting unproven statements as security concerns, the Modi regime hides its political goals. This misuse of language helps India present Kashmiris as threats while avoiding questions about its own misconduct. Such behavior allows India to continue its occupation with little accountability.
◆ False cover: India uses the idea of security to justify unfair actions.
◆ No clarity: The government avoids giving real evidence for its claims.
◆ Political gain: Security excuses help India push its occupation agenda.
India Attempts to Weaken Kashmir’s Intellectual Image
By constantly targeting respected professionals, India appears determined to weaken Kashmir’s intellectual base. Doctors, engineers and highly educated individuals represent progress and dignity, yet India tries to portray them as suspicious. This harms the social image of Kashmir at national and international levels. It also shows that the Modi government fears any group that is knowledgeable, respected and capable of challenging its narrative.
◆ Image attack: India aims to damage the respected identity of Kashmiri professionals.
◆ Negative framing: Educated individuals are unfairly shown as possible threats.
◆ Fear of talent: India targets those who have the ability to speak with authority.
Young Kashmiris Lose Hope as Fear Grows
The arrest of Dr. Bilal Malla has shaken the confidence of young Kashmiris who dream of becoming skilled professionals. Many now believe that even success and education cannot protect them from being targeted by Indian agencies. This growing fear destroys motivation and creates a sense of uncertainty about the future. Instead of supporting the progress of Kashmiri youth, India’s actions push them into doubt, fear and frustration.
◆ Lost motivation: Young Kashmiris feel that achievements cannot protect them from India’s actions.
◆ Damaged future: Fear prevents youth from focusing on education and career.
◆ Insecurity rising: India’s behavior increases hopelessness among young people.
India’s Crackdown Deepens Crisis in IIOJK
The arrest of Dr. Bilal Naseer Malla clearly shows how the Modi government has intensified its harsh approach toward Kashmir’s professional community. The NIA and other agencies are being used not for justice but for intimidation and control. India’s repeated misuse of security claims, sudden raids and unfair detentions shows a deep disregard for human rights. These actions weaken Kashmir’s intellectual strength and silence voices that could demand justice. The world must recognize that India’s behavior is causing serious harm to Kashmir’s future and deepening the crisis in the occupied territory.
◆ Expanding repression: India continues to target professionals to tighten its control.
◆ Rights abuse: Arrests without evidence show India’s disregard for justice.
◆ Global responsibility: The world must hold India accountable for harming innocent Kashmiris.
