The body of doctor Shashi Bhushan Abrol who was killed in the Ganderbal terror attack on Monday evening reached his hometown in Jammu.
As soon as the body reached, a pall of gloom descended on the Talab Tillo, an urban area in Jammu. Locals flocked to kill Bhushan Abrol's home to pay their last respects. Several members of the family broke into tears as shown in the pictures. Abrol and six construction workers were killed when terrorists attacked a tunnel construction site on the Srinagar-Leh national highway in the Ganderbal district late Sunday evening. The terrorists struck as the labourers and other staff returned to their camp in Gund, Ganderbal. The incident raised serious concern as this was a targeted killing by the terrorists. Meanwhile, the brother of Shashi Bhushan Abrol said that the terrorists behind the attack should be killed. "He never talked to us regarding any fear. He did not respond to our calls after 6 pm. Today in the morning we received information regarding his death," Abrol's brother told ANI. "He has two children. These terrorists should be killed. He was the only breadwinner of the family," he added. Abrol's father told ANI that Shashi Abrol had spoken on the telephone with his wife at 6 pm on Sunday. "Yesterday, his (Shashi Bhushan Abrol) wife had a telephone conversation with him at 6 pm, but later he did not respond to calls. He was a designer. We received information regarding his demise in the morning. He has been working with the company for the past 5-6 years," Abrol's father said. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday expressed the need for the security forces and police to remain alert after the terrorist attack in Ganderbal. "Now the administration, especially the police and security forces, will have to maintain their alert level even more and ensure that such attacks do not take place," said the J-K CM. (ANI)
