“I request the Indian government to bring them from Srinagar to AIIMS Delhi and provide them with the best medical facilities. Arrest the terrorists and deal with them accordingly,” said Aslam Khan, the father of the victim.
Sharing the details of the terror attack while speaking to news agency, Aslam Khan, said, “My younger son (along with his wife) had left for Jammu and Kashmir on May 13. They had boarded a flight from Delhi at 6 am. A tour guide had taken them to Pahalgam. They returned in the evening. As they were on their way to the hotel to take their meals after getting out of the vehicle, two bike-borne assailants came and opened fire on them and fled away.”
“The bullet breezed through the face of Tabrez and touched the shoulder of Farah Khan. He had an operation last night, and Farah Khan is undergoing an operation,” he added.
A tourist couple from the Rajasthan capital, Jaipur, were injured in a terror attack in the Yannar area of South Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Saturday night.

The condition of the injured tourists was said to be stable.
