‘Justice Delivered, I'm Proud of Indian Army': Daughter Of Pahalgam Attack Victim After Killing Of Three Terrorists
In an exclusive conversation with CNN-News18, Arathy R Menon, daughter of Pahalgam terror attack victim N. Ramachandran, expressed deep gratitude and pride after the killing of the terrorists involved in the April 22 massacre.
'Justice delivered," Arathy said, her voice steady but emotional. 'As a survivor, we were waiting for this day," she added, referring to the elimination of the three Lashkar terrorists in the recent Dachigam encounter under Operation Mahadev.
Expressing her appreciation for the country's leadership and armed forces, Arathy said, 'I deeply feel proud of the Indian Army. I am grateful to the commitment of our Prime Minister and Defence Minister."
She also praised the professionalism and sensitivity of the investigators involved in the case. 'The investigators made me very comfortable," she noted, acknowledging their support throughout the long and painful wait for justice.
N. Ramachandran was among the 26 people, mostly tourists, who were killed in the brutal terror attack in Baisaran, Pahalgam. The encounter that led to the death of the attackers has brought a sense of closure for several victims' families — including Arathy, who described it as a long-awaited moment of accountability.

India To Continue Russian Oil Imports Despite Trump's Tariff and Penalty Threats: Report
Last Updated: In addition to announcing a new 25 per cent tariff on Indian exports to the US, Trump said that India could face further penalties over its continued purchases of Russian oil Indian companies will continue importing oil from Russia despite US President Donald Trump's move to impose higher tariffs and penalties on New Delhi, Reuters reported on Sunday, citing two government sources. In addition to announcing a new 25 per cent tariff on Indian exports to the US, Trump said in a Truth Social post that India could face further penalties over its continued purchases of Russian oil and weaponry. However, the sources indicated that no immediate shift in policy is expected. 'These are long-term oil contracts," one of the sources explained. 'It is not so simple to just stop buying overnight." Defending India's continued oil imports from Russia, a second source noted that these purchases have played a role in preventing a global spike in oil prices, which have stayed relatively stable despite Western sanctions targeting Russia's energy sector. The source also pointed out that, unlike Iranian and Venezuelan crude, Russian oil is not directly sanctioned, and India is procuring it below the price cap set by the European Union. Russian media reports have indicated that the Government of India has not issued any directive to domestic refineries to halt Russian oil imports or seek alternative suppliers. Meanwhile, a Reuters report on Friday suggested that India, one of the world's major energy importers, might halt purchases of discounted Russian oil. Reacting to the development, Trump told reporters it would be 'a good step" if confirmed. 'I understand that India is no longer going to be buying oil from Russia," he said. 'That's what I heard. I don't know if that's right or not. That is a good step. We will see what happens." However, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that India is guided by what is on offer in the international market while securing its energy needs. 'In securing our energy needs, we are guided by what is on offer in the markets, and by the prevailing global circumstances," he said on Friday. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Janaza-Ghaib: Symbolic funeral of Pahalgam attacker in POK confirms Pakistan's role in attack, says report
The funeral in absentia of Tahir Habib, an ex-Pak Army soldier and Lashkar terrorist killed in Op Mahadev, was held in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, offering fresh proof of Islamabad's role in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. read more Indian security officers inspect the site in Pahalgam where militants indiscriminately opened fired at tourists at Pahalgam. AP File The funeral in absentia (Janaza-Ghaib) of Tahir Habib, a former Pakistan Army soldier and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative killed during Operation Mahadev in Jammu & Kashmir, was recently held in his native village of Khai Gala in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK), The Times of India reported. The event further reinforces evidence of Islamabad's involvement in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which left 26 civilians dead. Visuals shared on Telegram show elderly residents of Khai Gala offering prayers for Tahir, who was one of the key operatives behind the Pahalgam massacre. The funeral adds to mounting proof that the attack was executed by terrorists from across the border, with clear interstate and cross-border links. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The gathering turned tense when local LeT commander Rizwan Hanif attempted to join the funeral, despite explicit objections from Tahir's family. A heated confrontation followed, highlighting growing friction even within militant circles. Tahir, classified as a Category 'A' terrorist, had long been on the radar of Indian security agencies for his involvement in cross-border militancy. His killing, along with two others in Srinagar last week, marked a major breakthrough for Indian forces. According to a local source, Lashkar operatives even threatened mourners at gunpoint, triggering outrage in the village. 'People here have long been uneasy about radicalisation. After this incident, Khai Gala residents are planning a public boycott against terror recruitment,' the source said. This incident not only reaffirms Pakistan's direct hand in the Pahalgam attack, but also reflects a growing resistance in POK against Pakistan's terror machinery. It also signals the far-reaching impact of Operation Sindoor, India's counter-offensive launched in response to the April 22 strike. On April 22, Pakistan-backed and trained terrorists opened fire on tourists in Pahalgam, a popular destination in Jammu and Kashmir, killing 26 civilians in one of the deadliest attacks in the Valley in recent years. Pakistan has long been accused of using terror as an instrument of state policy. Groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, backed by Islamabad, have repeatedly targeted civilians in Kashmir and beyond. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

The funeral in absentia of Tahir Habib, one of the terrorists killed in Operation Mahadev, has triggered tensions in his native village of Khai Gala in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Habib's family barred Lashkar-e-Taiba members from attending, but a confrontation broke out when a local LeT commander tried to force his way in.

Remove Ads Fallout signals shift in public mood Tahir Habib: The man known as 'Afghani' The Janaza-Ghaib , or funeral in absentia, of Tahir Habib was held recently in Khai Gala , a village in Rawalkote, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Tahir was one of three terrorists killed in Operation Mahadev , conducted last week by Indian security forces in Srinagar, as reported by TOI's Raj Shekhar Jha. He had been a category 'A' wanted militant linked to the April 22 Pahalgam attack, in which 26 civilians were ceremony, which drew elderly villagers and relatives, was quiet at first. But that calm didn't to locals and visuals shared on Telegram, the funeral took a sharp turn when Rizwan Hanif, a local Lashkar-e-Taiba commander, arrived uninvited. Tahir's family had made it clear they did not want any LeT members at the funeral. Hanif tried to defy that request, and a confrontation broke out.A source present at the scene told TOI, "Lashkar operatives threatened mourners with a gun, sparking outrage among villagers. The residents of Khai Gala, who have long been wary of radicalisation, are now planning a public boycott to oppose terror recruitment."Villagers reportedly pushed back, forcing Hanif to leave. That rare open defiance sent a clear public rejection of LeT presence, during the funeral of one of their own, suggests something deeper is changing in the told to TOI, a source following the developments added, "A Lashkar commander facing public backlash and being forced to flee is a testament to the changing dynamics in the region."The backlash comes amid the wider consequences of Operation Sindoor, India's counter-operation launched after the Pahalgam massacre . While military in nature, its impact now appears to be resonating socially, even across the Habib's path into militancy followed a familiar arc seen in the region. He began with involvement in the Islami Jamiat Talaba (IJT) and the Student Liberation Front (SLF), both ideological stepping stones for radicalised youth. Later, he joined the Pakistan Army before becoming an operative for the intelligence records, he was often referred to by the alias 'Afghani', a nod to his belonged to the Sadozai Pathan community , a group that migrated from Afghanistan in the 18th century and played a prominent role in the Poonch Rebellion. His community's history is steeped in resistance, though now the nature of that resistance seems to be fallout from this funeral may seem like a small village dispute. But it cuts to the core of a larger shift underway in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. For years, militant groups have operated with impunity. Now, even in strongholds like Khai Gala, they are beginning to face public villagers' message was simple. Fear alone no longer guarantees silence.
