NIA Arrests Two for Sheltering Terrorists Behind Deadly Pahalgam Attack.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested two individuals accused of harbouring the terrorists involved in the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which left 26 people dead. The arrests were confirmed by NIA officials on Sunday, according to news agency PTI.
As part of the ongoing probe, NIA teams have also questioned survivors and the families of victims. A senior official said investigators have uncovered “key information” about the perpetrators and that high-level teams are actively working on the case.
The Resistance Front (TRF), believed to be a proxy of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), had claimed responsibility for the attack, which was one of the deadliest in the region this year.
The arrests come weeks after the NIA conducted a massive crackdown on terror-linked networks, raiding 32 locations across Kashmir, including in Pulwama, Shopian, Kulgam, Kupwara, and Sopore. These raids targeted suspected overground workers with alleged ties to Pakistan-backed terror groups.
While the agency did not directly link the earlier raids to the Pahalgam incident, officials indicated they were part of a broader investigation into terror funding and support networks tied to a case registered in 2022.
The NIA continues to tighten its grip on militant networks and their support systems in the Valley as part of a sustained effort to dismantle terror infrastructure.
