"MY husband begged the terrorists to spare him, not for himself, but for our three-year-old son. But his requests fell on deaf ears. They asked us how can we celebrate when they are suffering and shot him," Bharat's wife, Dr Sujatha told TNIE.

The family had gone on a trip to Kashmir from Bengaluru on April 18. Recalling the day of the attack, she said, "We went to Pahalgam early on Tuesday morning. From there, we reached a large meadow called Baisaran, surrounded by pine trees. It looked like a mini Switzerland. There were several tents where tourists could dress in traditional Kashmiri attire and take photos. Around 1.30 pm, we decided to return as it was getting late and we were hungry."
