The 53-seater bus was headed from the Shiv Khori temple. At 6:15 PM, the bus was hit by a series of bullets aimed at the bus. This caused the bus to lose a sense of direction and fall into a gorge. “The culprits of this dastardly attack will not be spared and will face the wrath of the law. The local administration is working on a war footing to provide immediate medical attention. May the Almighty give the loved ones of the deceased the strength to bear this pain. I also pray for the speedy recovery of the injured,” Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Shah stated. How the Indian Army will respond to this situation remains to be seen.
