Serving a two-day ultimatum to the state government for taking action against the culprits, the organisations demanded special probe into the incident.
Some unidentified persons allegedly beat up and chopped off the hair of a Sikh youth, Mithunpal Singh, a resident of Tral in Pulwama district, about 160 km from here. Deputy inspector General of Police in south Kashmir, Shafaqat Watali, said, "Some youth asked him to raise pro-freedom slogans.
He obliged. But when they asked him to recite kalma (Islamic prayer), he resisted.
