On Thursday afternoon, in a suicide attack claimed by JeM, 37 CRPF troopers were killed after a van laden with explosives rammed into a bus of CRPF convoy. The Government of India condemned in the strongest possible terms the Pulwama terror assault, which is the deadliest strike after the Uri attack of 2016, and has slammed Pakistan for the attack on CRPF convoy, asking it to stop supporting terrorist operating from its territory.

Team India skipper Virat Kohli took to twitter to send condolences and wrote. "I'm shocked after hearing about the attack in Pulwama, heartfelt condolences to the martyred soldiers & prayers for the speedy recovery of the injured jawaans," Virat Kohli tweeted.
