Asawari Jagadale still remembers the sound of gunfire ripping through the meadows in Pahalgam’s Baisaran, and the moment armed men pulled her father from the tent where they were hiding. “They asked him to step outside and recite Islamic verses,” she told Newslaundry. “When he couldn’t, they shot him three times.” Her uncle, Kaustubh, was also shot but survived. The gunmen spared the women, she said, and targeted only the men.
