'February
14,
2019'
was
a
dark
day
in
the
history
of
independent
India
as
the
Pulwama
terror
attack
shook
the
nation
to
its
core.
The
gruesome
terror
attack
which
claimed
the
lives
of
40
Indian
soldiers,
not
only
evoked
the
nation's
anger
but
also
broke
many
families.
To
pay
homage
to
the
brave
hearts
and
the
NIA
team
who
painstakingly
investigated
the
attack,
SonyLIV
brings
the
never-seen-before
story
with
Pulwama
Key
No.
1026,
helmed
by
National
award-winning
director
-
Onir.
The
eight-episodic
series
is
based
on
award-winning
author
and
journalist
Rahul
Pandita's
book
-
'The
Lover
Boy
of
Bahawalpur'.
The
series
is
a
tribute
to
all
those
martyrs
whose
dreams
were
blown
to
smithereens
the
minute
the
suicide
bomber's
car
hit
the
bus.

said,
"Since
its
revamp
last
year,
SonyLIV's
constant
endeavour
has
been
to
highlight
stories
of
India
that
have
global
relevance.
Pulwama
Key
No
1026
brings
an
authentic
narrative
of
a
gruesome
Pulwama
terror
attack.
Rahul
Pandita's
book,
'The
Lover
Boy'
of
Bahawalpur
is
a
noteworthy
read
and
brings
out
the
unknown
facts
about
the
incident
and
what
ensued
thereon.
We
are
pleased
to
announce
this
project
that's
backed
by
Onir,
an
amazing
director."
Onir,
Director
and
Show-runner,
Pulwama
Key

stated,
"The
Pulwama
terror
attack
did
not
just
claim
the
lives
of
40
CRPF
Jawans,
it
broke
India
and
its
people.
40
is
not
just
a
number,
but
the
living
dreams
of
these
brave
men
and
their
families
blown
apart.
A
riveting,
emotional
tale
of
an
incident
that
left
the
entire
nation
devastated,
Pulwama
Key
No.
1026
is
the
story
about
the
men
and
women
who
worked
tirelessly
to
find
the
truth.
It's
a
story
every
Indian
should
know,
and
I
feel
honoured
to
helm
this
project
along
with
writer
Rahul
Pandita."
Rahul
Pandita,
Writer
further
added,
"As
a
journalist
reporting
from
conflict
areas,
my
endeavour
always
has
been
to
lend
a
face
to
people
who
otherwise
get
buried
in
history
as
statistics.
The
soldiers
killed
in
the
Pulwama
attack
had
names,
lives,
dreams,
hopes
for
the
future.
So
do
those
who
investigated
the
case
painstakingly,
often
putting
themselves
in
danger.
I
am
glad
that
with
my
friend
Onir
we
will
be
able
to
tell
these
individual
stories
all
weaved
in
one
epic
drama."
