Pahalgam: More than a week has passed since the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. After this incident, tourists who went to Kashmir have made many shocking revelations, and new statements are still coming out, reports Dynamite News correspondent.

Among these, the revelations made by a woman from West Bengal are particularly shocking. She told that the terrorists tried to stop her and her companions and said that there is still a lot to be seen; they should go after having tea, Maggi, or momos.

This woman named Purvasha said that a group of 10 to 12 people from West Bengal had gone to Kashmir for sightseeing. They reached Kashmir on 21 April and went to visit Baisaran the next day on 22 April. They had reached there just a few hours before the attack and were having fun.

After roaming for a long time, the horseman told the husband of one of her friends that if it took more than an hour, then an additional Rs 500 per person would be charged. They thought that they would have to pay 6 thousand rupees extra, so everyone together decided to return immediately.

Purvasha further told that at that time they were all making reels. But one of her friends fell, and her clothes got stained with mud. Because of this, everyone thought there was no need to waste more time since it would cost extra money, and the clothes had also been ruined.

Four to five men surrounded and stopped them forcefully as soon as they started descending the valley. They said, "Hey, where are you guys going? There is still a lot to see."

Those men did not let the tourists go and repeatedly told them to go after drinking tea or eating Maggi. But Purvasha and her friends were determined to go down the valley since their friend's clothes had been ruined.

But those people did not agree and said, "You have not seen anything yet; roam around a little more. We will make momos for you, eat them, and then go." Those people were not ready to leave the path. Finally, Purvasha's elder sister scolded them, after which they were able to leave from there.

As soon as they left, they heard the sound of bullets. Initially, they thought that it might be the sound of some riding or other activity. But after a while, chaos had gripped the valley, as it was a terrorist attack. Hearing this, all of them ran quickly and reached the taxi stand. On the way, they saw that CRPF personnel and ambulances were rapidly moving towards the spot.

This incident shocked the tourists deeply. Purvasha, in anguish, stated that if they had not left the place, they would not have been alive today. She also told that the behavior of those men seemed very suspicious, who wanted to forcibly stop them and make them stay there. This entire incident has once again raised questions about the safety of tourists in Kashmir.
