2016 Dhuri Terrorist Attack

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I suspect that this article is a hoax. I searched on Google and Google news, but could not find any sources. I find it very surprising that a terrorist attack of this scale (500 deaths, 1000 injured) was not reported by Indian news media. Furthermore, this image used in the article is actually a screenshot from a video game (see the third image on this webpage); and this image uploaded on Wikicommons is actually from 2015 Gurdaspur attack (see this for proof).

 * Delete The article infobox says it all. Attack type: Bombing, Suicide Bombing, Mass Murder, Shooting, Grenade explosion, Hostage Crisis, Siege, Terrorism. (yeah, I am glad they didn't forget terrorism) Weapons: AK 47, Grenade, Time bomb, Rocket Launcher, Shotgun, Revolver, Knife. (And I though time bombs were passe). The image of the area map indicates it as an island, very similar in structure to an island from a multiplayer strategy game. For all I know, this event could have happened in the game. Delete this hoax. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 12:11, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
