In a chilling account, Bhawani Shankar, a survivor of the recent terror attack on a bus carrying pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir, described the 20-25 minutes of sheer horror amid gunfire from the hills.
The attack, which took place in Reasi district, killed nine people and injured 41, including Shankar and his family from Delhi. Shankar, on a pilgrimage to Vaishno Devi for his wedding anniversary, detailed how the attacker opened fire on the bus on its way to Shiv Khori temple, causing it to fall into a deep gorge.
“I bent down and hid my two children under the bus seat as bullets were being fired from hills… I will never forget those 20-25 minutes of horror,” Bhawani Shankar, a survivor of the deadly terror attack on a bus carrying pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district, said on Monday.
Shankar’s wife and children, all injured, are undergoing treatment in various hospitals in Jammu and Kashmir. The incident has left a deep impact on Shankar, who recalls the horrific moments vividly while recovering from his injuries.
