Navy officer Vinay Narwal was on his honeymoon in the picturesque Indian federal territory of Jammu and Kashmir when he was shot dead in front of his wife by militants in one of the worst attacks on tourists in the Himalayan region in decades.
The 26-year-old lieutenant from Karnal in India’s northern state of Haryana got married on 16 April and hosted a wedding reception over the weekend before travelling to Kashmir for a short visit. Narwal was enjoying the views of the Baisaran meadow, some 5km from the disputed region's resort town of Pahalgam, when militants opened fire, killing him on the spot.
