Speaking to PTI, Shubham's uncle Manoj Dwivedi, living next-door in Kanpur, said that Shubham and his wife decided to go horse riding around noon on Tuesday while the rest of the family hung out near their hotel.
Their joyride took almost no time to turn into a nightmare as militants reportedly approached them, sought to know their identities before shooting Shubham on the head and killing him instantly in front of his wife.
According to Shubham's cousin Saurabh, one of the terrorists reportedly turned to his wife after killing Shubham and said, "Tell your government what we did to your husband."
Expressing condolences, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said, "The death of Shubham Dwivedi from Kanpur district in the cowardly terrorist attack in Pahalgam is extremely sad. Today I spoke to his father, Sanjay Dwivedi, over the phone and expressed my condolences."
"In this hour of grief, the Uttar Pradesh government stands with the family with full commitment. The concerned officials of the state have been directed to bring the mortal remains to Kanpur with full respect', he added.
