Information on the Reasi assault
Fresh organization Terrorists opened fire on a 53-seater bus on Sunday evening as it was traveling from the Shiv Khori temple to the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in Katra. The bus veered off the road and fell into a deep gorge close to Teryath village in the Poni area of Reasi, leaving nine people dead and 41 injured, according to PTI. The bus was transporting pilgrims from Delhi, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA), the Army, the police, and central intelligence agencies all worked together to conduct a coordinated operation after the incident. After first taking credit for the attack, the Resistance Front (TRF), a front organization for the outlawed Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist organization, eventually withdrew its statement.
Two-year-old Titu Sawhney and his mother Pooja from Rajasthan are among the victims of the incident. They were two of the four state residents who perished in the assault. Uttar Pradesh was the native state of three of the dead. Among the dead were the bus’s conductor and driver, who were both from Reasi.
Five of the nine dead, according to the officials, suffered gunshot wounds. Ten of the 41 injured individuals in the incident had bullet wounds, they continued. Several individuals hurt were receiving medical attention at hospitals located in the districts of Jammu and Reasi.
