During the attack in Jammu and Kashmir, the terrorists were disguised as police officers, so the tourists did not suspect them. Eyewitnesses reported that there were about 8 to 10 attackers. The terrorists surrounded around 40 tourists, asked their names, and then shot those whose names indicated a specific religion, according to some eyewitnesses. A senior Navy officer also died in the attack.
