Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir are intensifying efforts to apprehend the perpetrators behind the brutal attack on a bus carrying pilgrims from Shiv Khori temple to Vaishno Devi shrine in Reasi district. Eyewitness testimonies and forensic evidence suggest the involvement of two to three terrorists in the ambush, which resulted in nine deaths and 42 injuries.
Search operations, spanning three days, have been underway in the dense forest terrain of Reasi, with multiple security teams combing the area for the assailants. There are suspicions that the same group may have been responsible for a prior attack on an Indian Air Force convoy in Poonch.
The attack bears a striking resemblance to previous incidents, prompting authorities to consider all possible angles during their investigation. Despite the challenging landscape, law enforcement agencies remain vigilant, employing meticulous strategies to track down the perpetrators.
State and national investigation agencies are collaborating to gather crucial evidence from the scene of the attack, while local residents are being questioned to obtain valuable insights into the attackers’ identities and motives.
Although some injured pilgrims have been discharged from hospitals, the tragic incident has left a lasting impact on the community. As authorities continue their relentless pursuit of justice, the safety and security of citizens remain a top priority in the region.
