Adil Ahmad Dar, the offender, smashed his explosive-laden vehicle into one of the buses in the convoy, causing a massive explosion. The attack killed 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) members and injured numerous others. The loss of life and the severity of the attack sent shockwaves throughout the country, eliciting tremendous outrage and condemnation.
