The untoward incident happened amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives, most of them tourists. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting nine terrorist bases deep inside Pakistan. The situation further escalated into a full-fledged conflict between the two neighbours, including drone interceptions by Indian Air Defence forces, widespread blackouts, and red alerts across Jammu and Kashmir. A ceasefire was eventually agreed, restoring a tentative calm. These tensions also briefly disrupted the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League, which resumed following the ceasefire. IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal confirmed to IANS on Tuesday that all three service chiefs of the Indian Armed Forces have been invited to attend the IPL final on June 3 in Ahmedabad, under the theme of honouring the heroes of Operation Sindoor.
