Pahalgam attack: Zipline operator shouted 'Allahu Akbar' before firing began, says tourist in viral video

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has questioned the zipline operator at the centre of a survivor’s account of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, where 26 tourists were gunned down at Baisaran meadow in Jammu and Kashmir. Rishi Bhatt, a tourist from Gujarat who survived the attack, alleged that the operator shouted “Allahu Akbar” three times moments before the firing began, raising suspicions about his role. Bhatt, who captured a video of his ziplining experience, said he heard gunfire shortly after the operator's chants. In the video, Bhatt is seen ziplining as the sound of gunshots rings out in the background. The clip has since gone viral.
