Meanwhile, family sources said that a tourist identified as Prashant Satpathy from Balasore district was killed in the Pahalgam terror attack.

A resident of Ishani village under Remuna block, Satpathy was working as an accountant and had gone to Jammu and Kashmir with his wife, Priyadarshini and nine-year-old son April 19 for a vacation.

Prashant’s wife Priyadarshini told an Odia news channel over phone from the attack site that her husband was hit by a bullet as they were alighting from a ropeway in Baisran area, an off-the-road meadow in Pahalgam.

He collapsed on the spot, she recalled.

One of Satpathy’s relatives later said that his body was taken by the Army for postmortem examination.
