Delhi Man Sacrifices Life to Warn Fellow Passengers of Jammu Bus Terror Attack

New Delhi, June 11Unfazed by shots being fired, 21-year-old Saurav Gupta, who was on the bus in Jammu that came under a terror attack, took it upon himself to raise an alarm but was felled by a bullet just then which pierced the back of his neck.

Saurav was among the nine pilgrims killed in the Sunday terror attack on a bus in Jammu’s Reasi.

His body was brought to Delhi in an ambulance by his father Kuldeep Gupta and other family members. He was cremated near his house in northeast Delhi’s Mandoli area on Tuesday.

Saurav had gone to the Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu with wife Shivani to pray for a baby. The couple, which had been married for two years, was scheduled to return home later the same day.

“She saw her husband die in front of her eyes. She was inconsolable,” Manoj Gupta, Saurav’s uncle, told PTI.

According to him, Sourav was a brave man with a strong build and a 6-ft height.

“He was sitting behind the driver in a window seat when the terrorists attacked their bus. As soon the firing began, he raised an alarm but was shot,” Manoj Gupta said.
