The fake order came in the wake of 2 Bihar labourers being shot dead by terrorists on Sunday. This incident took the number of civilians being killed in targeted terror attacks to 11. Out of the 11 people killed in the recent spate of attacks, 5 were from other states. The terrorists have given a clear indicator that they want to drive people from other states outside Kashmir.
