They asked her father, Santosh Jagdale to come out and recite an Islamic verse. When he couldn't, they shot him thrice, once in the head, then behind the ear, and then his back.
The daughter shared the terrific situation to PTI, saying that her family went through the horrific attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday.
After her father fell to the ground, the gunmen turned on her uncle, who was lying next to her and shot him several times in the back.
"We were a group of five people, including my parents. We were in Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam and were at a spit called Mini Switzerland when the firing began," Asavari Jagdali told PTI.
Reportedly, the Lashkar-e-Taiba offshoot called The Resistance Front (TRF) has claimed responsibility for the incident.
The terrorists targeted a group of people, including women and elderly individuals.
