NIA takes blood, hair samples of Pahalgam terror attack suspects
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken blood and hair samples from Pravaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar , the duo arrested in connection with the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, to conduct DNA analysis and ascertain if they played a larger role than just sheltering the three Pakistani terrorists who shot 26 civilians, people familiar with the matter said. Pahalgam terror suspects were killed by security forces on July 28.(HT Photo) The DNA samples, collected from the Amphalla prison in Jammu, where the two are currently lodged, are likely to be matched with the clothes and weapons recovered from three terrorists , Suleiman Shah, Hamza Afghani alias Afghan and Jibran, added the people, asking not to be identified.

Union home minister Amit Shah confirmed in Parliament on July 29 that the terrorists were from Pakistan and belonged to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Arrested on June 22, Parvaiz and Bashir Jothar allegedly harboured the three armed terrorists at a seasonal dhok (hut) at Hill Park before the attack, on April 21. 'The two men provided food, shelter and logistical support to the terrorists who selectively killed the tourists on the basis of their religious identity,' the anti-terror agency said in a statement in June. 'We are trying to ascertain if they had any larger role in the Pahalgam attack other than just providing them shelter and food. Thus, their blood samples and hair follicles for DNA analysis have been taken to match with clothes, weapons and other articles recovered from Shah, Afghan and Jibran,' said one of the people cited in the first instance, an officer with NIA. 'The samples will also be useful in matching with articles recovered in previous attacks on civilians in Jammu and Kashmir, to see whether these two had any role to play in sheltering or assisting other terrorists or not,' this person added.

A second officer familiar with the Pahalgam probe said NIA 'is currently analysing technical data retrieved from the phones and satellite phone recovered from the three terrorists, which will give more clues about the LeT handlers in Pakistan who controlled the attack'. In response to the Pahalgam attack, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7. Indian forces bombed nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in pre-dawn strikes --- in which at least 100 terrorists were killed --- and sparked a series of attacks and counter-attacks across the western border, involving fighter jets, missiles, armed drones, and fierce artillery and rocket duels. In one such attack on the night of May 9-10, the Indian Air Force struck targets at 13 Pakistani airbases and military installations. After four days of fighting, military hostilities were stopped on May 10 after the two nations reached an understanding.

Jammu and Kashmir Operation Enters Day 11, No Terrorist Found, No Firing Reported: Sources
Srinagar: The 11-day-long anti-terrorist operation in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam district has come to nought. No terrorist was found after a heavy exchange of firing and also killing of two army soldiers on Saturday, sources said. It was one of the longest anti-terrorist operations in the recent past in Jammu and Kashmir that witnessed heavy gunfights and explosions. At least five Pakistani terrorists were believed to be hiding. But on Saturday, after two Army soldiers, Pritpal Singh and Harminder Singh, were killed in action, it appears terrorists have managed to break the cordon, the sources said. Since then, there have been no reports of firing, even as a search operation was carried out for two days. Hundreds of troops from the Army, paratroopers, CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir were involved in the operation. Ten soldiers were also injured during the protracted encounter. "Searches over the last two days have not yielded any results. There was no firing either," said a senior official. Since 2021, Pakistan has been pushing terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir who are well-trained in jungle warfare. Instead of operating in urban and populated areas, the battle-hardened terrorists engage security forces in treacherous mountains and forests. As a result, troops often suffer casualties in protracted operations. Also, flushing out terrorists from jungles requires a large-scale troop deployment for cordon and searches in challenging terrain and dense forests. The operation in Akhal was launched on August 1 after security forces received information about the presence of a large group of terrorists. In the initial shootout on the foothills forest, one local terrorist was killed. But as the encounter spread to the forest area, things became difficult for the forces as well-entrenched Pakistani terrorists targeted security forces at multiple places during the operation. Besides heavy firing and occasional explosions, drones were also seen dropping explosives on target areas in the thick alpine forests of Akhal.
