Investigation uncovers new identities, raising questions about early intel and cross-border involvement
Content:
In a significant development, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has revealed that all three terrorists involved in the recent Pahalgam attack were Pakistani nationals, and none of them match the individuals depicted in the sketches initially released by the Jammu & Kashmir Police.
The finding has prompted a re-evaluation of the early leads and intelligence inputs that guided the initial manhunt. According to officials, the attackers crossed into India from across the border and had no prior linkage to the profiles earlier suspected by local authorities.
This revelation marks a major shift in the trajectory of the investigation, indicating a deeper and possibly more organized cross-border operation than previously assumed.
Security forces have been placed on heightened alert, and fresh efforts are underway to identify the network that facilitated the attackers’ movement and shelter.
The NIA continues to work closely with intelligence agencies to trace the route of infiltration and uncover the broader conspiracy behind the attack. The development has also reignited discussions on strengthening surveillance and border security in the region.
