SHIVAMOGGA/CHIKKAMAGALURU: Two tourists from Karnataka - Shivamogga realtor Manjunatha Rao and Bengaluru's Bharat Bhushan - are among the dead in the Pahalgam massacre.
Rao's first-ever family trip outside of Karnataka ended in tragedy when terrorists shot him dead in a chilling strike when they were holidaying in Kashmir's popular tourist destination on Tuesday. The 46-year-old was in the Valley along with wife Pallavi and son Abhijit Rao.
After a lone bullet killed her husband, Pallavi, speaking to a television news channel, said she pleaded with the terrorists to similarly gun down her and son, too. According to Pallavi, the terrorists told her: "Go tell Modi."
The realtor from Shivamogga's Vijayanagar had planned dream vacation following completion of his son's plus-two examinations.
The Raos had booked the trip through a travel agency and were travelling with a few tourists from Sagar taluk of Shivamogga district. The team left Shivamogga on April 19 and was to return on April 24.
