Pahalgam Terror Attack: Mortal Remains Of 3 Dombivli Victims Of J&K Shooting to Arrive At Bagshala Maidan For Public Funeral

Dombivali: A day after 26 individuals were killed in the Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir, the bodies of three men from Dombivli, who were also killed in the same attack, will be brought to Bagshala Maidan in Dombivli for a public funeral. The three families were related to each other, and to allow family and friends to gather and pay their respects, the funeral is being held in an open ground to avoid any inconvenience.

Mitesh Penkar, president of the BJP (Dombivli East), was seen supervising the funeral arrangements. Penkar condemned the attack and said that strict action would certainly be taken by senior political leaders and that everyone would unite against such acts of terror.

“Dombivli is a small city, and the entire city is like one family. Three of our family members have been brutally killed, and the entire city is angry and deeply saddened by this unfortunate incident. What hurts more is that the victims were asked their names and religion, and based on that, they were targeted. This reflects the attackers’ mindset. However, we are confident that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah will give a strong response to this attack. The law will surely take its course.”

Dombivli’s MLA Ravindra Chavan went to the airport to ensure that the bodies arrived in the city on time and without any hassle.

Karan Ullengal, a Bajrang Dal President, Kalyan, who was assisting with the arrangements, told Free Press Journal, “This attack is very similar to the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits. People from one religion sitting across the border give orders, which are then carried out by Muslim youths in India. But India will not remain silent — we will definitely respond to this attack.”

When asked how they plan to respond, he added, “We need to identify who the intruders in India are. The first step is to stop purchasing from Bangladeshis in the state. We must also remove all Rohingyas. Let’s start from the ground level.”
