Jammu and Kashmir Reasi Terrorist Attack survivor news: In a tragic incident on Sunday, a 53-seater bus traveling from the revered Shiv Khori temple to Mata Vaishno Devi shrine Katra was ambushed by gunfire, causing it to careen off the road and plunge into a steep gorge near Teryath village in the Poni area. 

The attack, classified as a terror attack, claimed the lives of nine individuals and 41 injured as the terrorists opened fire at the bus, including members of a family and two cousins from Uttar Pradesh's Balrampur.

Nine people were killed 53-seater bus, which was on its way from the Shiv Khori temple to the Katra. 

Among the injured was Bhawani Shankar, a Delhi's Tughlakbad Extension resident accompanied by his wife Radha Devi and two children — five-year-old daughter Deeksha and three-year-old son Raghav. The Shankar family, hailing from Delhi, visited Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu on Mr. & Mrs. Shankar’s wedding anniversary on June 6. Luckily, they escaped the horrific incident. 

Bhawani Shankar vividly recounted the harrowing ordeal. As bullets rained down from the hills, Shankar courageously shielded his two children, swiftly maneuvering them under a bus seat. In those dread-filled moments lasting 20-25 minutes, fear gripped Shankar as he safeguarded his loved ones from the indiscriminate gunfire. The traumatic experience left an indelible mark, etching memories of horror that Shankar vowed never to forget.

"I will never forget those 20-25 minutes of horror," said Bhawani Shankar, a survivor of the deadly terror attack on a bus carrying pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district.
