On 16 February 2017 , the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – Khorasan Province claimed responsibility for a suicide attack at the shrine that resulted in the deaths of 88 people . The following morning , the shrine 's caretaker continued the daily tradition of ringing the shrine 's bell at 3:30 am , and defiantly vowed that he would not be intimidated by terrorists . The shrine 's '' dhamaal '' , or meditative dancing ceremony , was resumed the very next evening following the attack . A few days later , several leading Pakistani artists and performers partook in a '' dhamaal '' at the shrine as a defiant response to radical Islamists . Another '' dhamaal '' session was held to mark the one year anniversary of the bombing , and was organised by Pakistani social activist Sheema Kermani
