Since the attack, an alert has been sounded in the national capital as the terror attack coincided with the swearing ceremony of the new government at the Centre.
The Delhi Police have stepped up its deployment at crowded places like malls and markets and are keeping a close watch on any suspicious movement.
Of the 41 people that were injured in the attack, five hailed from Delhi and are currently receiving treatment at a hospital in Jammu and Kashmir while one person named Saurav Gupta was among the nine deceased.
Gupta was hit by a bullet in the back of his neck which led to his instant death.
Reportedly, Saurav’s body was brought to Delhi in an ambulance by his father Kuldeep Gupta and other family members. He was cremated near his house in northeast Delhi’s Mandoli area on Tuesday.
Saurav had gone to the Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu with his wife Shivani Gupta to pray for a baby. The couple, which had been married for two years, was scheduled to return home later the same day. Meanwhile, Shivani suffered fractures in legs and face when the bus fell into a gorge.
