A tourist in India unknowingly filmed a brutal terrorist attack while ziplining in the Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam on April 22.
Rishi Bhatt, of Ahmedabad, was all smiles for the camera, unaware that 26 people were being shot below him.
Speaking to Ani News, Bhatt described hearing the zipline operator shout “Allahu Akbar” three times before the shooting began.
“Nine people ziplined before me, but the operator did not utter a word. When I was sliding, he spoke, and then the firing started. So, I have my suspicions about that man. He said ‘Allahu Akbar’ thrice and then the firing started… He looked like a regular Kashmiri,” Bhatt said.
“Firing started when I was ziplining… After about 20 seconds, I realized that it was a terrorist attack… and the people on the ground are being killed,” he continued. “I saw 5-6 people getting shot.”
When he reached the end of the zipline, Bhatt detached himself and ran with his family.

“I unlatched my belt and jumped down, took my wife and son and started running away. We saw people hiding at a spot which was like a pit, so you could not spot someone easily there. We too hid there,” he explained.

Bhatt said that the terrorists were asking people their religion before shooting them.
“I found out that men in two families ahead of us were asked their religion and shot in front of my wife and son. My wife and son were screaming,” he said.
The first phase of the attack lasted less than ten minutes, before pausing.
“The firing started again and 4-5 people were shot. Fifteen to sixteen tourists were shot in front of us,” Bhatt said. “When we reached the gate, we saw that the local public had already left.”
Bhatt said the Indian Army arrived in about 20 minutes and gave them cover to flee.
