    Some youth also burnt the pictures of the actress, who had recently taken to social media to apologise for her meeting with Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti which drew sharp reactions from some of the youth in the Valley.
     
    One of the placards, which had pictures of her with the Chief Minister, carried a threat to kill the 16-year-old actress.
