“I stay in Haryana and my brother and his family had gone for a trip to Srinagar.

According to Shrabani, when the attack took place, her sister-in-law had called her as she was staying close.

“She told me to save my brother. They had taken a SIM and used to share all details with my elder daughter. Every day, they used to share pictures of their trip. My sister-in-law said that my brother was alive after the attack and nobody present at the spot came forward for help. But my sister-in-law stood there throughout,” said Shrabani.
