We were lying down. acted as though they were dead till the militants left: Reasi terror assault survivors describe the horror in J-K.

In the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday, a bus transporting pilgrims was attacked by terrorists. The survivors, who ranged from persons who claimed to be dead and lay still to grieving parents for their lost children, were still in shock.

After visiting the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine near Katra town, the group—who came from Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Delhi—took a bus on Sunday morning to Shiv Khouri, a renowned sanctuary of Lord Shiva near Ransoo in Pouni tehsil. As they were returning to Katra from Shiv Khouri, insurgents targeted their transport.
