Jammu and Kashmir Attack: The Resistance Front (TRF), a militant group supported by Pakistan, has claimed the responsibility for the deadly attack on a bus carrying pilgrims in J&K’s Reasi district on Sunday, in which 10 people were killed and more than 30 were injured badly.
Security forces launched a large-scale search operation to track down the terrorists responsible for the attack on a bus carrying pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district on Sunday evening. The attack left 10 people dead and 33 others in a really bad condition. Additionally, security has been increased in the area. According to Home Ministry sources as reported by India Today, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) will now investigate the attack.
Where were the pilgrims going from Jammu and Kashmir
Pilgrims were returning from the Shiv Khori shrine on a bus towards Katra, the base camp for the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine, when tragedy struck. Terrorists, concealed within a nearby forest, launched a surprise attack by firing on the vehicle. The bus driver, struck by a bullet, lost control, sending the vehicle tumbling down a gorge.
The search operation for the attackers is in full swing. Drones are combing through the thick vegetation surrounding the attack site to locate the perpetrators. Additionally, a team from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) has been deployed to assist in the investigation.
