The terror assault in Reasi on Sunday claimed the lives of nine people. Among these, a family comprising a two-year-old boy perished after the bus plunged into a ravine as a result of terrorist firing. Among the nine dead are two cousins from Balrampur in Uttar Pradesh.

Following the flurry of gunfire, the 53-seater bus, traveling from the Shiv Khori temple to Katra, went off the road and plunged into a steep gorge close to Teryath hamlet in the Poni district.

Among the deceased were Pooja Saini (30), her two-year-old son Levansh, also known as Titu, and their relative Rajendra Saini (42), a cloth merchant from Jaipur, and his wife Mamta (40).

The father of 30-year-old Pooja, Om Prakash Saini, stated to The Indian Express that Rajendra and Mamata’s children had not been told of their parents’ passing.

In the Jaipur district, Rajendra Saini lived in Chomu town with his wife Mamta. Pooja lived on Chomu Road in the Harmada neighborhood of Ajmera ki Dhani.

On June 7, the whole family—including Pooja’s husband Pavan—left for Vaishno Devi in Jaipur. According to her father’s statement on the website, around 9:15 p.m. on Sunday, a relative alerted him that terrorists had attacked the bus they were riding in. After suffering an injury, Pawan has been released.

Four people’s bodies arrived in Jaipur via train on Tuesday, according to authorities. The police claim that the deceased’s family members and relatives transported the bodies to Harmada and Chomu after they arrived in Pink City on the Pooja Express.

According to the PTI report, Ruby and her maternal cousin Anurag Verma were identified as the two deceased from Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh.
