NIA Files Chargesheet in Pahalgam Terror Attack
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) in India has filed a chargesheet, which is like a detailed report, about a very bad attack that happened in Pahalgam.
This attack killed 26 people, most of whom were tourists, and hurt 16 others.
The NIA says that a terrorist group from Pakistan called Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and its partner group, The Resistance Front (TRF), planned and carried out this attack.
The NIA has also named a Pakistani leader, Sajid Jatt, and three other terrorists who were killed by Indian security forces.
Two local men who helped the terrorists have also been charged.
The NIA says that Pakistan is behind this attack and has been supporting terrorism against India.
India has responded by attacking terrorist camps in Pakistan.
The chargesheet is very long, with 1,597 pages, and will be presented in a special court in Jammu.
The NIA filed a 1,597-page chargesheet in the Pahalgam terror attack case, accusing Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), The Resistance Front (TRF), and seven individuals, including Pakistani handler Sajid Jatt.
The attack on April 22, 2025, killed 26 people, mostly tourists, and injured 16 others, with evidence linking it to Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.
Three Pakistani terrorists, Faisal Jatt (alias Suleman Shah), Habeeb Tahir (alias Jibran), and Hamza Afghani, were eliminated in Operation Mahadev in July.
Two local men, Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar, were arrested for harbouring the terrorists and providing support.
