NIA Cracks Down: Key Arrests in Pahalgam Terror Attack Case

Two men have been remanded by a special NIA court for 10 more days for allegedly assisting Pakistani terrorists in the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which left 26 dead. The men reportedly provided logistical support, revealing the attackers' affiliations with the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba group.

A special court of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has extended the remand of two accused individuals by 10 days. They were arrested for allegedly aiding Pakistani terrorists in connection with the April Pahalgam attack, which resulted in 26 fatalities.

The NIA, having previously secured a five-day remand, presented the accused — Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar — in court. These arrests mark a significant development in the ongoing investigation of the tragedy.

Authorities have identified the attackers as Pakistani nationals linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba. The detainees are accused of providing the terrorists with food, shelter, and logistical support, leading to the targeted killing of tourists, based on religious identity, in one of Kashmir's most shocking incidents.
