'Operation Mahadev': Special plane flew guns overnight to CFSL, Chandigarh, for confirmatory ballistic tests
NEW DELHI: It was possibly the smallest cargo that a special plane, requisitioned at short notice, may have carried, but it ended up solving one of the most crucial terror investigations of the time. After three terrorists were killed in 'Operation Mahadev' on Monday, the security establishment did not stop at simply getting them identified by family members of the two locals who had provided them food and shelter at their seasonal 'dhok (hut)' near Baisaran, a day before the Pahalgam attack. Amit Shah directed the adoption of a more scientific route - a ballistic test at the Central Forensic Science Laboratory, Chandigarh, to match the weapons recovered from the slain terrorists with the cartridge casings recovered from the Pahalgam attack site. The latter had been tested earlier at the same lab. The weapons - an M-4 carbine and two AK-47s - were flown from Srinagar to Chandigarh on the special plane on Monday-Tuesday night. Forensic/ballistic experts at CFSL burnt the midnight oil, conducting test firings and generating empty shells for comparison. "The grooves and the markings from the barrels and shells matched perfectly... Six forensic experts confirmed to me on video call at 4.46am on Tuesday that these were the same rifles used in killing our innocent citizens (in Pahalgam)," Shah shared in Lok Sabha on Tuesday.

Amit Shah comes to Lok Sabha armed with proof on Pahalgam attackers
NEW DELHI: The three Pakistani terrorists who gunned down 26 civilians, including 25 tourists, in J&K's Pahalgam in front of their horror-struck families, were cornered and killed on Monday in a joint operation by the Army, CRPF and police in Dachigam area on the outskirts of Srinagar, home minister Amit Shah disclosed in Lok Sabha on Tuesday. Participating in the debate on Operation Sindoor, Shah identified the three attackers killed in 'Operation Mahadev' as Suleman alias Faizal Jatt alias Anas alias Usama Markaz; Hamza Afghan; and Jibran, all Pakistanis and affiliated to the Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT). Suleman, a top-grade LeT commander and the mastermind of the April 22 Pahalgam attack, was also involved in the Oct 2024 attack at the Z-Morh construction site in Gagangir, in which six labourers and a local doctor were killed, he said. Both Hamza and Jibran were also 'A-grade' LeT terrorists. The three were identified by family members of two locals arrested on June 22 by NIA - Parvaiz and Bashir. The duo had provided food and shelter to them at their 'dhok (seasonal hut)' some 2km from Baisaran prior to the attack. A source said they were paid around Rs 3,000 by the terrorists. Shah had come to LS armed with conclusive evidence of direct involvement of the three terrorists in the Pahalgam attack as well as their Pakistani roots. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Seniors Born 1939-1969 Receive 11 Benefits This Month If They Ask Super Saving Online Undo The ballistic report, he said, matched the cartridges and barrel of the weapons recovered from the slain terrorists, with the spent casings secured from the attack site. Two of the three terrorists were carrying Pakistani voter IDs and the weapons - an M4 carbine and two AK-47s - and chocolates recovered from them further sealed the Pakistani link. The neutralisation of all three Pahalgam attackers marks the culmination of a massive manhunt, which started with Shah's instructions to the forces at a security meeting on April 23 to not allow them to escape to Pakistan. As many as 1,055 eyewitnesses and suspects were questioned by NIA and other agencies over 3,000 hours, and sketches of the terrorists were prepared. Shah said it was on May 22 that human intelligence on presence of the assailants in Dachigam area was received. Technical surveillance was mounted by the Army and Intelligence Bureau to capture 'Ultra' signals of communications between the terrorists and their handlers in Pakistan. "IB, Army and CRPF personnel traversed on foot in cold and high altitudes to receive the signals. On July 22, we got success through sensors, and the location of the terrorists was confirmed. An operation was launched by CRPF and J&K Police under the leadership of 4 Para, and the three terrorists were surrounded and killed," he said.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Though the jawan managed to escape, police traced him, thanks to the abrasions on his face. CRPF, however, hesitated to take action against the jawan. Finally, a complaint from the girl's family to the Avadi all-women police station, under provisions of the Pocso Act, resulted in the jawan being remanded in judicial custody. A team of police personnel from the police station informed senior CRPF officials. Police said the girl was returning home a few days ago when she was targeted from behind by a stranger on a dark stretch. He tried to sexually assault the girl. Though shocked and frightened, the girl took after the fleeing suspect, and landed a few blows and scratches, leaving visible injuries on his face. She couldn't identify him since it was dark. After the girl told her parents about the incident, the parents lodged a complaint. The girl also told them that she had injured him on the face. Police, with the help of the identification provided, tracked down and identified the jawan. He was later arrested and remanded in judicial custody.
