Besides Showkat Dar from our neighbouring Wuranhal hamlet, my conductor, Zahid Rasool Bhat (16) who is also my neighbour was accompanying me. It was around 12 of the night when we reached Udhampur. We decided to halt for a night near a place probably called Shivpur. As we went to sleep, a group of people vigorously started knocking the right and left windows of our truck. When we didn’t open up the windows, they started pelting stones on the truck. Suddenly they smashed the front windshield and lobbed a petrol bomb inside the truck. The truck caught fire and in a bid to save our lives, we jumped from the truck. The goons who were standing at a distance chased Showkat and Zahid while taking advantage of darkness, I hid myself under the truck,” he said.
