Activist Rakesh Handoo's lawyer claims the case has its origins in the "power struggles" between factions of the Pandit community in the Kashmir. J&K Police allege the activist altered and repeatedly circulated threat material targeting a PMRP employee; forensic examination of seized devices is underway. Accused’s lawyer says he was booked for sharing a threat letter through his X account eight times, but maintains that the complaint was the result of some.
