All 3 Pahalgam terrorists different from those whose sketches J&K Police had released: Report
A recent report by The Indian Express has revealed a shocking twist in the investigation of the Pahalgam attack, where three terrorists stormed a tourist lodge, killing 7 people, including a police officer, and injuring several others. According to the report, the three Pahalgam terrorists are different from the ones whose sketches the Jammu and Kashmir Police had released earlier.
The investigation into the attack, which took place on October 11, was being conducted by the Jammu and Kashmir Police and the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The police had released sketches of the suspected attackers, which were widely circulated in the media.
However, a report by The Indian Express has now stated that the three terrorists involved in the attack are not the same individuals whose sketches were released by the police. The report quotes sources in the investigation as saying that the police had based the sketches on a picture found on the phone of one of the attackers, JR Bhat, who was killed in a gunfight.
JR Bhat was a co-accused in the Z-Morh tunnel terrorist attack, which took place in 2017. According to the report, one of the attackers involved in the Pahalgam attack is Suleiman Shah, who was also involved in the Z-Morh tunnel attack.
The revelation has raised questions about the accuracy of the police’s investigation and the reliability of the information that was used to create the sketches. The police had released the sketches in an effort to identify the attackers and bring them to justice, but it appears that the sketches were based on flawed information.
The Pahalgam attack was a shocking incident that sent shockwaves across the country. The three terrorists, who were armed with guns and grenades, stormed the tourist lodge in the early hours of the morning, killing 7 people, including a police officer, and injuring several others. The attack was widely condemned by political leaders and civil society organizations, who called for stronger measures to be taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
The investigation into the attack is ongoing, and the police and the NIA are working to identify the attackers and bring them to justice. The revelation that the three Pahalgam terrorists are different from those whose sketches were released by the police is a setback for the investigation, but it is not a failure.
The Indian Express report highlights the challenges that the police and the NIA face in investigating terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. The region has been plagued by terrorism for decades, and the police and other law enforcement agencies have to contend with a complex and ever-changing landscape of militant groups and sympathizers.
Despite the challenges, the police and the NIA have made significant progress in recent years in investigating terrorist attacks and bringing militants to justice. The Pahalgam attack was a brutal and shocking incident, but it will not go unpunished. The police and the NIA will continue to work tirelessly to identify the attackers and bring them to justice, and they will not rest until the perpetrators of this heinous crime have been held accountable.
