You must have seen the upsetting and tragic picture of a man lying on the ground with a woman sitting next to him on the news and social media platforms. Taken after the horrifying events of the Pahalgam terror attack, which took place on 22nd April, the pictures show deceased navy officer Vinay Nawal and his wife Himanshi, a school teacher. The terror attack took place near a meadow, claiming the lives of 26 tourists.
The couple Vinay and Himanshi were married just 7 days before the attack and were staying in Baisaran, near Pahalgam town in Jammu and Kashmir, as part of their honeymoon. The couple had initially planned to go to Switzerland, but due to delays in getting their visas chose Pahalgam instead. The deadly attack took place 48 hours after they landed in Srinagar.

The couple got engaged on April 6 and were married in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, ten days later on April 16.
