Srinagar: Security forces on Monday eliminated three terrorists involved in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. In the terror attack, 26 innocent people, including a local pony ride operator, Syed Adil Hussain Shah, were killed. The sisters of Hussain on Tuesday hailed the Indian Army for neutralising the terrorists behind the deadly attack.
Ravesa Jan, one of the sisters of the pony guide, told news agency ANI that her brother has got the justice. Ravesa added that the India Army avenged her brother and all the victims of the attack,
"Our brother has got the justice. We are very proud of the Indian Army that they avenged our brother and also avenged all those who lost their lives in that attack," she stated.
Meanwhile, Hussain's other sister also expressed happiness over the killing of the three terrorists. "We are very proud of our brother who lost his life while saving the lives of those tourists. We are very happy and proud of the Indian army," Asmat Jan told the news agency.
Who Was Syed Adil Hussain Shah?
Syed Adil Hussain Shah was a resident of Pahalgam and the only local victim of the attack. When five to six terrorists disguised in camouflage and traditional attire stormed Baisaran with AK-47s, panic erupted in the area. According to reports, witnesses revealed that Syed did not run. Instead, he shielded the Hindu tourists he was accompanying, even attempting to disarm one of the attackers. Unarmed, he confronted the gunmen and was brutally shot to death while trying to snatch their rifle.
On Monday, Lashkar-e-Taiba top commander Suleman was among the three terrorists killed by security forces during the recent Operation Mahadev in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar.
