According to the officials, the terrorists chose the picturesque Baisaran meadow due to its high number of tourists' presence and relative isolation.

A spokesperson for the NIA, which is probing the case, said, "Three terrorists were directly involved in the attack," adding that the target was also chosen considering the "response time" from the security agencies.
