Man's Zipline Selfie Unknowingly Captures Pahalgam Terror Attack, Tourists Running For Life
A week after the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, which killed 26 people, videos by tourists are under scrutiny
Nearly a week has passed since the terror attack in Jammu & Kashmir's Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 people. Several videos filmed by tourists in Pahalgam are now under scrutiny.
A new video has emerged showing a man recording his zipline ride in Baisaran meadow while some tourists can be seen running on the ground, seemingly from terrorists. The man, possibly unaware of the attack at the time, was at a considerable height. Gun shots can heard in the background.

The 53-second video starts with the zipline operator chanting 'Allahhu Akbar" (God is the greatest) before sending the man on the ride. Initially, everything seems normal, but as he continues, people can be seen running away. Over 100 people were in the Baisaran meadow at the time. One tourist fell while running for his life.
Terrorists on April 22 opened fire in Baisaran, a popular tourist spot in the upper reaches of Pahalgam in Anantnag district, killing 26 people, mostly holidayers from other states.
