Unmasking Terror: Pahalgam Attackers Found Tied to Pakistan

In a definitive breakthrough, Indian security agencies have linked the perpetrators of the Pahalgam terror attack to Pakistan, using an array of concrete evidence gathered over a period of two days in late July. This corroborates Union Home Minister Amit Shah's assertion in the Lok Sabha regarding the nationality of the assailants.

Amit Shah stressed that government-issued Pakistani documents in possession have unequivocally established the origins of the attackers. Forensic and testimonial evidence collected during Operation Mahadev revealed the involvement of three Pakistani nationals, identified as operatives of the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist group. Surveillance findings debunk any involvement of local Kashmiris.

The attackers, identified through evidence as Suleman Shah, Abu Hamza, and Yasi, have a proven linkage to Pakistan through recovered voter ID cards, satellite phone data, and personal items traced back to the country. Their movements, meticulously tracked by Indian intelligence, documented their crossing from the Line of Control to strategic points preceding the attack, culminating in a deadly assault that claimed the lives of 26, largely targeting Hindu tourists.
