All 3 Pahalgam terrorists different from those whose sketches J&K Police had released: Report
On August 9, a terrorist attack on a bus carrying Amarnath pilgrims in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, left eight people dead and 19 injured. The incident sent shockwaves across the country, with the government and security agencies scrambling to identify and apprehend the perpetrators. The Jammu and Kashmir Police had released sketches of the three attackers, based on a picture retrieved from the phone of a co-accused militant, JR Bhat, who was killed in a gunfight. However, according to a recent report, the three terrorists involved in the attack are different from those depicted in the sketches released by the police.
The report states that the three attackers, who carried out the deadly attack on the Amarnath Yatra bus, are yet to be identified, despite the Police releasing their sketches. The sketches were based on a picture retrieved from the phone of JR Bhat, a co-accused militant who was killed in a gunfight along with another militant, Suleiman Shah. Shah, who was involved in the Z-Morh tunnel terrorist attack, is believed to be one of the attackers in the Pahalgam incident.
The Z-Morh tunnel terrorist attack was a major incident that took place in 2019, when a group of militants had attacked the tunnel, which connects the towns of Ganderbal and Srinagar. The attack had left several people injured and had caused widespread damage.
The Police had released the sketches of the three attackers, hoping to identify and apprehend them. However, according to the report, the sketches do not match with the actual terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack. The report does not specify what led to the discrepancy, but it is clear that the Police are still struggling to identify the attackers.
The Pahalgam attack was a major incident that took place on the eve of Eid-al-Azha, a significant festival in the Muslim calendar. The attack was widely condemned by civil society and political leaders across the country, and the government had promised to take stern action against those responsible.
The investigation into the attack is still ongoing, with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Jammu and Kashmir Police working together to identify the attackers. The Police have already arrested several people in connection with the attack, including a local resident who was allegedly involved in providing shelter to the terrorists.
The Pahalgam attack is the latest in a series of incidents of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, which has been plagued by violence and insurgency for decades. The region has seen a surge in terrorist activities in recent years, including attacks on security forces and civilians.
The investigation into the Pahalgam attack is likely to be a complex and challenging one, given the fact that the terrorists involved are still at large. The Police will need to work closely with the NIA and other security agencies to identify and apprehend the attackers, and bring them to justice.
In conclusion, the report that the three Pahalgam terrorists are different from those whose sketches the J&K Police had released is a significant development in the investigation into the attack. The Police will need to work closely with the NIA and other security agencies to identify and apprehend the attackers, and bring them to justice.
