The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has detained Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar for their alleged involvement in aiding terrorists from the Pakistan-based group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in the Pahalgam attack. The duo is accused of providing food and shelter to the attackers in a seasonal hut prior to the assault, which specifically targeted tourists in Baisaran Valley based on religious grounds. This incident highlights ongoing security challenges in the region, where militant activities continue to pose threats to civilians and tourists alike. The NIA’s investigation revealed that three of the attackers were Pakistani nationals affiliated with LeT, a group known for orchestrating numerous attacks in India. The apprehended individuals have been charged under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), reflecting the severity of their alleged crimes. Authorities are intensifying efforts to dismantle networks that support such terrorist activities, aiming to prevent future incidents and ensure the safety of both residents and visitors. The arrests underscore the importance of vigilance and cooperation among security agencies to combat terrorism effectively. As investigations proceed, further details are expected to emerge, potentially leading to more arrests and a clearer understanding of the operational dynamics behind this attack. The case serves as a stark reminder of the persistent threat posed by cross-border terrorism and the need for robust counter-terrorism strategies.
