Seven pilgrims, including six women, were killed and 19 others injured in the worst attack on the annual pilgrimage since 2001. An injured woman survivor said the bus was fired at from all sides but the brave driver continued to drive. As Sheikh ducked to save himself, three bullets hit the bus owner, Harsh Desai, who was sitting by his side. As we realised it was a terrorist attack, I asked Sheikh to keep driving until we reach a military camp. "I would like to thank them for the way they saved the lives of pilgrims by driving the bus without stopping amidst the firing.
