What Happened With Shubham Dwivedi
Eshanaay, wife of Shubham Dwivedi, one among the 26 victims, said that they had sat down for a meal when a man appeared from behind and asked them about their religion.
“We gave an order for Maggi, then Shubham and I sat down. Dad was also in the bathroom. At that time, one person came from behind and he asked, ‘Are you a Hindu or Muslim?’ If you are a Muslim, then you first read the Kalma’. We didn’t even know, we looked back to see what was happening,” the wife said. “They asked me whether he is Hindu or muslim, I told them Hindu, they killed him. The first shot was on him.”

According to Sanjay Dwivedi, the father of Shubham Dwivedi, his son had visited a scenic spot known as ‘Mini Switzerland’ in Pahalgam along with his wife and sister-in-law.
Dwivedi said that Shubham’s wife, who survived the attack, asked the terrorists to kill her as well. However, they spared her life to use her as a witness to convey a message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. They told her that we are leaving you alive so that you can tell Modi about all this.
