Within a couple of hours of an explosive-laden vehicle detonating and destroying a bus carrying CRPF jawans in south Kashmir’s Pulwama on Thursday, 14 February, Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM), a Pakistan-based terrorist group, claimed responsibility for the attack. Bollywood celebrities tweeted their condolences, and strongly condemned the attack on social media.
Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, Salman Khan and many other Bollywood stars mourned the loss of the jawans and offered condolences to their families.
At least 39 CRPF personnel have been martyred in the blast, and the casualties are feared to rise. Gunshots were reported after the blast.
