The bus driver, however, alleged that the attackers used derogatory remarks referring to the vehicle and its occupants as terrorists. Claims that the vehicle was targeted because of its Jammu and Kashmir registration are being investigated and have not been independently established.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah condemned the incident and took up the matter with the Haryana government, which assured prompt action.

The J&K government said it was monitoring the situation and standing with the affected passengers. The bus later resumed its journey towards Jammu and Kashmir.
