Footage ReleasedCapture the Disorder Following Baisaran Terror Strike in Pahalgam Marketplace
Terror in Pahalgam
A chilling video just emerged, revealing the chaos and panic during the devastating terror attack that took place on April 22, 2025, in Pahalgam's Baisaran Valley. This attack claimed the lives of 26 innocent civilians, mainly tourists.
The recording, reportedly shot around 3:35 PM, shows terrified people—many with kids—running frantically down the valley, escaping the hail of gunfire. According to reports, the video lines up with the attack's timeline, which began earlier in the afternoon.
Additional CCTV footage from a nearby market adds credence to the chaos, depicting people dashing helplessly and vehicles speeding away from the scene. Authorities suspect that the attackers had links across borders and intentionally targeted the peaceful tourist destination.
Previously, several videos had surfaced online, including footage of the casualties and the attack on the tourists. In one such video, people could be heard screaming as the terror attack ensued, and in another, a tourist from Gujarat was seen soaring through the air on a Zipline, while the horrifying incident unfolded on the ground below. The recording even captured a man falling after being shot by the attackers.
Since the Pahalgam attack, India-Pakistan relations have reached an all-time low, with both countries suspending all forms of trade and communication. Both nations have also fortified their armies along the Line of Control.
To put matters in perspective, here are some essential facts:
- The attack took place in the Baisaran Valley, Pahalgam, an area known for its scenic beauty but with minimal security.
- The attackers were five militants wearing military-style uniforms, armed with AK-47s and M4 carbines. One local Muslim pony operator, Syed Adil Hussain Shah, tried to protect the tourists before falling victim to the attack.
- Of the casualties, 26 individuals lost their lives, and 20 were injured.
- Many countries, including Singapore and Turkey, expressed shock and condemnation, with no Singaporean citizens among the casualties.
- The United States issued a travel advisory, warning against travel to Jammu and Kashmir due to the risk of terrorist attacks and civil unrest, but with exemptions for certain visits.
- While some social media speculated the involvement of individuals from Pakistan, these claims remain unverified.
Amidst the darkness, Syed Adil Hussain Shah's selfless attempts to shield the tourists have been celebrated as an act of immense bravery. In an unusual turn of events, the attack was inadvertently captured on video by a Hindu tourist from Ahmedabad who was ziplining at the time. This video provides a eerily realistic glimpse of the pandemonium that unfolded that fateful day.
- The terror attack in Pahalgam's Baisaran Valley, recorded on April 22, 2025, was an appalling event that claimed the lives of 26 innocent tourists, sending shockwaves across the world, including general news and crime-and-justice sections.
- The video, shot around 3:35 PM, not only captured the chaos and panic but also the cowardice of the attackers wearing military-style uniforms, armed with weapons like AK-47s and M4 carbines, who targeted the peaceful tourist destination.
- The aftermath of the Pahalgam attack has had severe political consequences, with India-Pakistan relations reaching an all-time low, leading to the suspension of trade and communication, and both countries fortifying their armies along the Line of Control.
- Despite the dark times, acts of bravery such as Syed Adil Hussain Shah's, a local Muslim pony operator who tried to protect tourists before falling victim to the attack, serve as a reminder of the resilience and unity in the face of war-and-conflicts and terror.
