New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Mithun Manhas on Wednesday remembered the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack, marking one year since the deadly attack, and wished the Almighty would provide strength to those 'still battling the loss of their family'.
“One year since the horrific terrorist attack on Hindu’s at Pahalgam. May Lord Shiva give strength to those who are still battling the loss of their loved ones !! #Neverforget #PahalgamAttack,” he wrote on X.
The Pahalgam terror attack occurred on April 22, 2025, when 26 people were killed in a brutal massacre targeting tourists. The attack was carried out by The Resistance Front, an offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba. The attackers singled out victims after asking about their religion, forcing them to recite the Islamic ‘kalima’ to identify non-Muslims. Among those killed were 25 tourists and one local pony-ride operator who tried to save them.
Among the victims were several newly-married couples, and many were shot at close range in front of their families. In response to the attack, Indian armed forces launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ on May 6 and 7, carrying out what officials described as a focused, measured and non-escalatory military action targeting high-value terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir.
