Terrorist attack in Jammu 9 killed. Many Injured

Senior Superintendent of Police(SSP) Reasi, Mohita Sharma, Sunday confirmed that nine pilgrims were killed after terrorists attacked the bus ferrying Shiv Kohri pilgrims in Reasi district while 33 persons were injured.

She was, however, quick to add that the bullet hit the driver of the bus, after which he lost control and plunged into a gorge.

Talking to reporters at the incident site, SSP Reasi said that police had secured the Shiv Kohri incident, but terrorists chose to attack the bus ferrying non-J&K pilgrims of Shiv Kohri on the highway. “This is an unfortunate incident in which nine persons are feared dead and 33 others injured.

Prima facie, it looks like terrorists were waiting for the bus and attacked it on the highway. The driver of the bus was hit by a bullet, after which the bus rolled down into the gorge,” she said.

She said that the identities of the slain and injured are being ascertained. “It seems the pilgrims were from Uttar Pradesh. She said that injured had been shifted to district hospital Reasi,” the SSP Reasi said.
