MUMBAI: A peaceful afternoon turned into a scene of unimaginable sorrow in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on Tuesday, when militants opened fire on a group of unsuspecting tourists. The brutal assault has left the nation mourning the loss of at least 28 lives, among them a newlywed naval officer and an Intelligence Bureau official travelling with his family.

Among those affected by this devastating tragedy was popular YouTuber Elvish Yadav, who shared an emotional account on social media after realising that he once knew the naval officer’s wife, Himanshi, from his college days.

In a heartfelt vlog, Elvish recounted how, while watching news coverage of the horrific attack, he stumbled upon a viral video that initially seemed unfamiliar. Upon closer inspection, he was left in utter shock to recognise Himanshi, his former college mate from Hansraj College, with whom he had shared many fond memories.

“I graduated in 2018, and since then, we had lost touch," Elvish revealed. "Gurgaon is my hometown. We used to enjoy so much together, even taking the metro rides side by side. I still had her number, but I didn’t dare call. In such a tragic moment, you simply don’t know what to say, and I knew it wasn’t the right time."

Instead, Elvish reached out to a mutual friend, who made persistent efforts to contact Himanshi. After 30 unanswered calls, she finally answered on the 31st attempt. It was through this mutual friend that Elvish received the heartbreaking confirmation of the loss.

The grief across the nation is palpable, and the collective voice demanding justice has grown louder and more determined. Calls for severe punishment against those responsible for this barbaric attack have echoed throughout India.

As the country mourns the innocent lives lost in this senseless act of violence, the spirit of unity and resilience shines through. The memory of those who perished will be honoured, and their families supported as the demand for justice continues unabated.
