All 3 Pahalgam terrorists different from those whose sketches J&K Police had released: Report
The recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir has left the nation in shock. The incident, which took place on August 8, resulted in the killing of a tourist and injuring of several others. The attack was carried out by a group of terrorists who stormed a camp of a private tour operator in the area. The Jammu and Kashmir Police had released sketches of the attackers, claiming that they had identified the perpetrators. However, a recent report suggests that the three terrorists involved in the attack are different from those whose sketches were released.
According to The Indian Express, the investigation into the attack has revealed that the three terrorists are not the same individuals whose sketches were released by the Jammu and Kashmir Police. The report cites sources in the police department, who stated that the sketches were based on a picture found on the phone of JR Bhat, a co-accused in the Z-Morh tunnel terrorist attack. Bhat was killed in a gunfight with security forces earlier this year.
The Z-Morh tunnel attack, which took place in 2020, was a major incident that left several security personnel injured. JR Bhat was one of the main suspects in the case and was later killed in a gunfight. During the investigation, police found a picture of Bhat with three other militants on his phone. The police reportedly used this picture to create the sketches of the attackers, which were later released to the public.
However, sources in the police department have now revealed that the three terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack are different from the individuals in the picture found on Bhat’s phone. This has raised questions about the accuracy of the police’s investigation and the reliability of the sketches.
The Indian Express report quoted a source in the police department as saying, “The three terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack are not the same individuals whose sketches were released. The sketches were based on a picture found on JR Bhat’s phone, but the investigation has revealed that the terrorists are different.”
This report raises serious concerns about the effectiveness of the Jammu and Kashmir Police’s investigation into the Pahalgam attack. If the sketches were based on a picture found on a phone, and the terrorists are different from those in the picture, it raises questions about the accuracy of the investigation.
Moreover, this report also highlights the challenges faced by the security forces in identifying and apprehending terrorists in the region. The Pahalgam attack was a brazen incident, and the fact that the terrorists were able to carry it out without being detected suggests that there are still gaps in the security apparatus.
The report also mentions that Suleiman Shah, one of the attackers involved in the Pahalgam attack, was involved in the Z-Morh tunnel terrorist attack. This suggests that there may be a connection between the two incidents, and that the same group of terrorists may be involved in multiple attacks.
The Indian Express report also mentions that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) is investigating the Pahalgam attack, in addition to the Jammu and Kashmir Police. The NIA is a specialized agency that deals with terrorism-related cases, and its involvement in the investigation suggests that the government is taking the attack seriously.
In conclusion, the report that the three Pahalgam terrorists are different from those whose sketches J&K Police had released raises serious concerns about the accuracy of the police’s investigation. The incident highlights the challenges faced by the security forces in identifying and apprehending terrorists in the region, and the need for a more effective and robust security apparatus. The involvement of the NIA in the investigation suggests that the government is taking the attack seriously, and that a thorough and comprehensive investigation will be carried out.
