A tragic image of a newly married woman — with wrists adorned with ‘Cholama‘ (red and white bangles traditionally worn by brides), and holding her motionless husband — has become the face of the Pahalgam terror attack that rocked India.
The couple, in now viral photo, was reportedly on their honeymoon when terrorists struck at a prime tourist location in Pahalgam in south Kashmir on Tuesday.
At least 26 people, mostly tourists were killed in the ruthless attack, and several others injured. Officials said that the deceased included two foreigners — from the UAE and Nepal — and two locals.
In a chilling video shared online, the woman can be heard pleading for help: “We were having bhelpuri when they came. They shot my husband. Please save my husband!”
The picture capturing both love and unimaginable horror has sparked an outpour of grief and anger on social media. “This is heartbreaking,” a user wrote Another simply said, “Her silence is louder than her cries.”
Some users used the image to create powerful posters to voice their rage against the terrorist attack.
There were some other users who posted the couple’s photo to attack the upcoming movie ‘Abir gulaal‘, which stars popular Pakistani actor Fawad Khan, adding to the ongoing backlash against the film.
A user from Pakistan’s Balochistan province also slammed the country for “harbouring global terrorists”. “Baloch activists speaking very loud and clear that Pakistan is a terrorist state,” she added.
A user posted a video on X, where a man can be heard instigating the audience against abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir. He also spoke about chants of ‘Ram Ram’ and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tough stand on Kashmir. The user claimed that the ‘instigating speech’ was made four days ago in Rawalkot, in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.
Some users also shared images of smiling men with candles. They claimed that the men had participated in a candlelight march against the Pahalgam terrorist attack. News18, however, could not verify the authenticity of the image. Along with this, video of scared and crying tourists after the attack was also shared.
Some users even shared the story of a tourist from Karnataka, who claimed that the terrorist told them that he would not harm them and instead instructed them to inform Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the attack.
Speaking to a reputed Kannada media over the phone, Pallavi, who lost her husband Manjunath in the terrorist attack, said, “We are in Pahalgam, and my husband died right in front of me. I couldn’t cry or react — I couldn’t even comprehend what had just happened. I had come here with my husband Manjunath and our son Abhijeya from Karnataka’s Shivamogga.”
