Jammu terror attack victims

The bodies of four of a Jaipur-based family, who died in a terrorist attack in Jammu, were brought here today.

From here, these bodies will be sent to their native places namely Chomu and Murlipura.

Meanwhile, thousands of people gathered at the platform and in the Chomu and Murlipura areas demanding a government job and compensation for the family of the deceased.

Several political workers were also seen standing at the platform before the arrival of the train. Some protesters also raised slogans against BJP leader Bhupendra Saini.

The family members of the deceased Pooja and Livansh protested outside the Murlipura police station.

The family said the bodies will be accepted only when justice is received. They said that talks are going on with the administration but nothing has been received except assurances.

Satyanarayan, uncle of Pawan who was injured in the terrorist attack, said, “Our demands should be met on the spot. Our discussions have not worked out with the government. Yesterday, we went to the CM House and met the SDM and Collector, however, no assurance has been given to us.”

Chomu MLA (Independent) Shikha Meel Barala, who was at a protest site, said, “People have come from all over the town. There is only one voice, take strict action against terrorism. Compensation should be given to the dependents of the deceased. One member should be given a job, and compensation of ₹1 crore should be given to the family of the deceased. Also, the children of the family, who turned orphans, should be given free education and medical treatment. Jaipur Collector has been requested to fulfil the demands as soon as possible so that the bodies can be cremated.”

Four people, who were killed in a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir, are members of the same family. Rajendra Saini (42), son of Hanuman Sahay Saini, resident of Chomu (Jaipur), and his wife Mamta Saini (40) died in the attack. They have three children who were not informed about their deaths till Monday evening. Rajendra’s elder brother Omprakash’s daughter Pooja Saini (30), a resident of Harmada (Jaipur), and Pooja’s son Livansh alias Kittu (2) also were killed in the attack.
