Pahalgam attack: Agencies identify terrorists' handler in Pakistan, trace their route from Baisaran to Dachigam

(Photo: Dar Yasin/AP) Following the 'Operation Mahadev' last week, Indian security agencies have identified the handler of terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack and traced the route that those terrorists took, according to a report. On July 28, the Indian Army said it killed three terrorists in the Dachigam area of Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar. Those were later said to be involved in attack in J&K's Pahalgam's Baisaran meadow in which they killed 26 people. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The CNN-News 18 has reported that Indian agencies have now identified Sajid Saifullah Jatt, the south Kashmir operations chief of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), as the key handler based in Lahore, Pakistan. The report said that the agencies have also confirmed the terrorists' link to Pakistan and LeT through funeral prayers of those killed in Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK), which were coordinated by Rizwan Anees of LeT. The agencies believe that the evidence leaves no doubt that the three persons killed in Dachigam, who they have identified as Suleman Shah (alias Faizal Jatt), Abu Hamza (alias 'Afghan"), and Yasir (alias 'Jibran") were Pakistani nationals and part of the LeT. How agencies confirmed link to Pakistan The evidence found from three terrorists in Dachigam contains voter ID cards and a NADRA card, which are the Pakistani equivalent of Aadhaar card, according to CNN-News 18. The agencies have found that these cards have been tied to electoral rolls in Lahore and Gujranwala, confirming the Pakistani identities of those killed in Dachigam, according to the report. The agencies have flagged the presence of Pakistan-made chocolate as further proof of Pakistani roots of terrorists. As for the route they took, the agencies have assessed that they crossed into India near Gurez and were later sheltered in a seasonal hut near Pahalgam by two Kashmiri men —Parvaiz and Bashir Ahmad Jothar— who later confessed to aiding them, the report said. GPS data from a Garmin device recovered from one of them and call logs from a Huawei satellite phone established their movements and linkages to operational control in Pakistan, the report said.

Song Young-Kyu Found Dead In Vehicle Days After Driving Under Influence Controversy

Veteran South Korean actor Song Young-Kyu, 55, was found dead a week after a DUI scandal. Yongin Eastern Police Station in Gyeonggi-do is investigating the case. Veteran South Korean actor Song Young-Kyu has been found dead just days after he was embroiled in a driving under the influence (DUI) controversy that had begun affecting his career. He was 55 years old. According to media reports, Song was discovered unconscious inside a parked vehicle at a townhouse complex in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, around 8:00 AM on Sunday. The Yongin Eastern Police Station has launched an investigation into the circumstances of his death. Authorities were reportedly alerted by an acquaintance who found him in the vehicle. A source quoted by Koreaboo said, 'He was distressed by the malicious articles and comments, and the circumstances were extremely unfavorable at that time." Just over a week before his death, Song had been booked without detention for driving under the influence. The incident occurred on June 19 in Yongin, after Song had reportedly consumed alcohol with acquaintances and attempted to drive home. His blood alcohol content was said to be over 0.08 per cent, leading to the revocation of his driver's license. The incident came to light after a local resident reported it to the police. Song chose not to issue a public statement about the matter. The backlash was swift. Song was removed from the stage play Shakespeare In Love following the incident. In South Korea, where public figures are held to high standards, such infractions often have serious professional consequences. At the time of the scandal, Song was appearing as Pastor Yoon Se Hoon in ENA's Monday–Tuesday drama Eye Shopping, and had also filmed for The Defects. In response to the controversy, the production team behind The Defects stated that they would minimise his screen time in the final edit. 'Since it is a pre-produced drama, filming has been completed, and it seems that editing will be kept to a minimum so as not to affect the flow of the plot or the viewer's perception of the plot," they told OSEN on July 25. Song began his acting career in 1994 with the children's musical Wizard Mureul. Authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of death.
