According to intelligence agency sources, this attack was carried out on the lines of the attack on Amarnath Yatra a few years ago, which was the biggest terrorist attack in Jammu in the last decade.
According to the information received so far, Lashkar’s supporting organization has carried out this major terrorist attack. The number of attackers is expected to be 3 to 4, who are suspected to have entered India from Pakistan a few days ago. The first aim of the terrorists was to fire indiscriminately at the devotees, after which the bus would lose its balance and meet with an accident and this is exactly what happened.
Keeping in mind the bus accident that happened a few days ago in Reasi, the terrorists planned this attack and targeted a bus full of devotees. The 53-seater bus going from Shiv Khodi temple to Katra fell into a deep ditch after firing. This incident happened at around 6:15 pm near Teryath village in Poni area.
At the same time, opposition leaders have reacted to the terrorist attack. Congress said that there is news of a terrorist attack on a bus full of devotees in Jammu and Kashmir. 10 people are reported dead in this cowardly attack and many are injured. This is sad and shameful. The Congress family expresses its condolences to the bereaved family. We pray to God to give place to the departed soul in his lotus feet and provide speedy recovery to the injured.
Omar Abdullah expressed grief over the incident
Along with this, Omar Abdullah has also expressed grief over the incident. He said that there is terrible news from Reasi in Jammu and Kashmir, where 10 passengers have died and many others have been injured in a terrorist attack on a bus. I strongly condemn this attack. It is unfortunate that terrorism has returned to the areas from which terrorists were completely removed earlier. May the souls of the dead rest in peace and I wish for the speedy recovery of the injured.
What did SSP Mohit Sharma say?
Meanwhile, Reasi Senior Superintendent of Police Mohit Sharma said, “10 pilgrims were killed and 33 others were injured. This attack reflects a worrying increase in violence in the area. Reasi district has remained relatively untouched by terrorist activities compared to neighboring areas like Rajouri and Poonch.”
