Overview
- The anniversary reporting published Tuesday marks one year since the Pahalgam attack that killed Bharath Bhushan in front of his wife, Dr Sujatha, and their four-and-a-half-year-old son.
- She says the child saw the shooting and has not asked for his father since, a response she meets with plain explanations and steady support from both families.
- To keep intrusive images at bay, she loads her week with hospital shifts and consultations and sets aside one day for focused time with her son.
- She recalls no security presence where the shots rang out and argues that even one armed guard could have changed the outcome.
- In separate interviews, she calls the assailants brainwashed, urges action against radicalisation, avoids unknown calls and social media, and notes April now carries the family’s heaviest grief.
