Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath spoke to Shubham's father over the phone and expressed condolences.

Muslim or Hindu… on asking twice we thought that the man was joking, but in a few seconds he shot Shubham in the head. He fell down soaked in blood, she screamed. Then the sound of bullets started to be heard from all sides, due to which Pahalgam echoed.

Amidst the screams, dead bodies were visible everywhere. She was trying to lift Shubham, but his sister and mother-father pulled him out of the gate. In a short while, army personnel arrived. Her husband's body lay there. She kept crying.

Eshanya, who lost her husband in a terrorist attack in front of her eyes, shared this information with Dainik Jagran correspondent on phone on Tuesday night and broke down while speaking.

She narrated her painful story in sobs

Eshanya told sobbingly that she had gone for a walk with the whole family for the first time after marriage. They had reached Pahalgam on Tuesday. They had reached the gate by riding horses on the higher part of Pahalgam.

She, Shubham and sister Shambhavi were sitting together at a distance of about 50 meters from there. Mummy-Papa were near the gate. Meanwhile, a terrorist came and asked whether you are a Muslim or a Hindu. She could not understand what he said.

Then he asked again that if you are a Muslim then recite Kalma. We thought his words were a joke and said that no brother we are not Muslims. As soon as he said this, he shot my husband.

My husband died in front of my eyes and I could not do anything. The terrorists would have killed me too, but my sister and mother-father dragged me down.
