NIA seeks public's help in Pahalgam attack probe, appeals for photos and videos
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday urged tourists, locals, and visitors to come forward with any photos, videos, or information that could aid its investigation into the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which killed 26 civilians and left several others injured. In an appeal issued via its official website and social media platforms, the agency provided two contact numbers—9654958816 and 011-24368800—for people to reach out. The NIA said a senior official would follow up to collect and verify any relevant material. The anti-terror agency, which is leading the probe into what it called a 'horrendous crime against humanity,' said it had already obtained a number of visuals from the scene but wanted to ensure 'no useful information or evidence is missed.' 'Tourists and others may have, knowingly or unknowingly, captured clues that could help us identify the attackers and their methods,' the NIA said in a statement. Several images and videos of the attack continue to circulate on social media. The agency is conducting a comprehensive review of digital evidence in parallel with forensic work at the attack site and witness interviews in Pahalgam. On April 22, two Pakistan-based terrorists and a local opened fire on tourists in the scenic Baisaran Valley, killing 26 people. The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the attack. Sources at the NIA said the network of top LeT commander Farooq Ahmad likely played a key role in helping the terrorists. The appeal comes amid a massive manhunt for the perpetrators of the Pahalgam attack. According to sources close to the probe, the terrorists involved in the attack remain active and hidden in south Kashmir. The attackers are reportedly highly self-reliant, carrying food supplies and other essential provisions with them, allowing them to operate for extended periods in the forested terrain without requiring external logistical support.
