Reports said that after the gruesome incident, security forces started a massive operation to first identify local guides who guided the terrorists to target members of a particular community living near the temple. A group of terrorists involved in the killing of six civilians including two minors in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir checked the Aadhaar cards of all victims before starting indiscriminating firing on unarmed civilians. Sarpanch of village Dangri Dheeraj Sharma informed that terrorists armed with AK rifles appeared at Dangri from the surrounding forest area at the stroke of 7 pm and targeted three houses of minorities near a temple one by one and rained bullets after confirming the identity of civilians through Aadhaar cards.

Pritam Sharma 56 and his 33-year-old son Ashish Kumar were also among those who lost their lives in the terror attack. The firing continued for 10 minutes in the three houses separated by around 50 metres after which both the militants fled away from the scene.
