After the Pahalgam attack, Shah visited the attack site and a security review meeting was held on April 23 in which all the security forces were involved. It was decided that the terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack should not flee to Pakistan. "We made arrangements for this and did not let them escape the country," he said. Shah said that on May 22, 2025, the Intelligence Bureau (IB) received information about the presence of terrorists in Dachigam area. He said continuous efforts were made by the IB and Army from May 22 to July 22 to confirm this information received through equipment made by the agencies to capture ultra signals (from Chinese apps) in Dachigam. "Our officers and jawans of IB, Army and CRPF kept moving on foot in the cold and high altitudes to receive signals. On July 22, we got success through sensors and the presence of terrorists was confirmed. The CRPF and J&K police personnel, under the leadership of 4 Para, surrounded the terrorists and all the three terrorists were killed," he said. Shah told the House that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had already arrested the people who had given shelter to these three terrorists. He said that when the bodies of these three terrorists were brought to Srinagar, four people identified them as Pahalgam attackers. The FSL report of the cartridges found at the Pahalgam attack site were matched with the three rifles recovered from the terrorists in Dachigam. The three rifles were transported to Chandigarh on Monday night by plane and empty shells were generated by firing. The shells found at the Pahalgam attack site were matched with the shells and it was confirmed these 3 rifles were used for the attack. LeT and its outfit TRF (now banned by US) took responsibility for the Pahalgam attack. "We had decided that NIA will investigate this attack. NIA has expertise as a globally recognised agency in scientifically investigating terrorist cases and bringing the culprits to justice. NIA's conviction rate is more than 96%," Shah said. Shah said 1,055 people were interrogated for more than 3,000 hours and on the basis of this information, the sketches of the terrorists were made. "We have all the evidence because Pakistani voter numbers of two of the three terrorists were available, rifles were also available, the chocolates found with them were also made in Pakistan," he said.

‘Why Did Encounter Happen Yesterday?': Akhilesh Raises Question On ‘Op Mahadev' Timing
Last Updated: Akhilesh Yadav questioned the government on the timing of the encounter of terrorists involved in the Pahalgam terror attack. Samajwadi Party MP Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday raised questions on the timing of the encounter of three terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam attack, and asked why their killing took place 'only yesterday". 'After all, why did the encounter take place only yesterday?" Akhilesh said in Lok Sabha during a debate on Operation Sindoor. His remarks came after the Indian Army, CRPF, and Jammu and Kashmir Police launched 'Operation Mahadev' and neutralised three terrorists – Suleman Shah, Afghan, and Jibran – in Srinagar on Monday. Their identities were confirmed and announced by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Lok Sabha today. 'I would like to share details about 'Operation Mahadev', which took place yesterday. In this operation, three terrorists, Suleiman, Jibran, and one other, Afghani, were neutralised in a joint operation conducted by the Indian Army, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), and the Jammu Police," Amit Shah said. 'The people who used to supply food to them were detained earlier. Once the bodies of these terrorists were brought to Srinagar, they were identified by those who were kept detained by our agencies," he added. He said that 'Operation Mahadev' began on May 22, a month after the Pahalgam attack took place. 'A security meeting was held that very night, when the Intelligence Bureau (IB) received input about the presence of terrorists in Dachigam," he said. 'In the operation conducted yesterday, all three terrorists responsible for killing innocent civilians were eliminated. From the attack site, cartridge cases were recovered, and their forensic test had already been conducted in advance. When the terrorists were killed yesterday, their rifles were recovered, and the cartridges found with them were from M9 American rifles. A ballistic comparison of the recovered rifles and shell casings confirmed that these same three weapons were used in the attack on our civilians," he added. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

‘Paramilitary Officer Identified Pahalgam Attackers, Shot Them': Exclusive From Defence Sources
Last Updated: Op Mahadev In Dachigam: 'This operation was done by paramilitary officers. One para officer and his buddy identified them, after which they were shot,' said top defence sources The operation to kill three Pahalgam attackers in an encounter in Srinagar's Dachigam on Monday was carried out elite paramilitary officers, said defence sources. 'This operation was done by paramilitary officers. One para officer and his buddy identified them, after which they were shot immediately," said sources. One M4 carbine rifle, two AK rifles and other munitions were recovered from the site of the encounter. What home minister Amit Shah said Speaking in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah confirmed that Suleiman Shah alias Hashim Musa, and two others killed in the Dachigam encounter were involved in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. The two other terrorists killed in the action were identified as Jibran, who was allegedly involved in the Sonamarg tunnel attack last year, and Hamza Afghani, it was known on Monday. 'I would like to share details about ' Operation Mahadev ', which took place yesterday. In this operation, three terrorists, Suleiman, Jibran, and one other, Afghani, were neutralised in a joint operation conducted by the Indian Army, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), and the Jammu Police," Amit Shah told the Lok Sabha. 'Suleiman was a terrorist affiliated with the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and all three were classified as A-grade terrorists," he added. How the terrorists were tracked A Huawei satellite phone was reportedly used by the terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack, but the device had not been used since the attack. However, intelligence agencies tracking the phone observed that a call was made using the device two days ago. Subsequently, the location of the device was found to be deep inside Dachigam, with no human habitation around it. Following the encounter in Srinagar's Dachigam, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday said kinetic operations have been going on for the past several months in the region to eliminate terrorists. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
