Chocolates, voter IDs, rifles: Amit Shah shares proof of killers' Pakistan links
New Delhi: A day after operation Mahadev in which two Pakistan nationals and an Afghan involved in the 2025 Pahalgam attack were killed by security forces, Union Home Minister Amit Shah revealed their identity in the Lok Sabha. "Suleman, Hamza Afghani (Afghani) and Zibran were killed in a joint operation of the Indian Army , CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police in Dachigam, Kashmir," he said. Suleman, Hamza and Jibran were 'A' category LeT terrorists involved in the April 22 Pahalgam attack, Shah told Parliament.

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.

How Op Mahadev unfolded: A day-by-day account of how the net closed in on Pahalgam terrorists
Security forces cordoned off the entire area and started sweeping the forest inch by inch, closing in from multiple directions. Meanwhile, the intelligence agencies worked on every possible source. Immediately after the attack, the Army had put in place a wide net to ensure the terrorists did not escape into Pakistan. So, according to security sources, the only option left to the terrorists was to move deeper into the Valley. And Dachigam forest, with its heavy foliage and difficult terrain, was the perfect hiding spot. New Delhi: The killing of the three LeT terrorists behind the Pahalgam massacre was the culmination of an operation that started immediately after the attack. Finally, it was on 22 May that the Intelligence Bureau (IB)—which was among the several agencies tracking the movement of the Pahalgam terrorists—got a credible input about their presence in the general area of the Dachigam forest near Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir. On 22 May, the IB analysed what they had and decided that the human intelligence they had received was credible enough for them to focus on a particular area. Sources say that the information was shared with the Centre and a multi-agency coordinated operation was launched—Operation Mahadev. Sources say the operation was named after a hilltop in the area, Mahadev. 'Three terrorists were killed in a joint operation of the Indian Army, CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police (on 28 July). One of the terrorists, Suleiman, was a Grade A category commander of LeT (Lashkar-e-Taiba), and our agencies have ample evidence of his involvement in the Pahalgam and Gagangir terrorist attacks. Both Afghan and Jibran were Grade A category terrorists,' Home Minister Amit Shah told the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. 'All three terrorists behind the Pahalgam terror attack have now been killed,' he added. Giving details of the operation, Shah said that from May 22 to July 22, continuous efforts were made to verify the human intelligence generated by the IB. He said that officers from the IB, Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police and the CRPF kept patrolling in the cold at high altitudes to pick up the communication signals of the terrorists. The tactical part of the operation was being led by 4 Para, an elite unit of the Indian Army. As reported by ThePrint earlier, the terrorists were using a specialised communication system that was difficult to track. However, specialised interception systems were used by the forces and eventually they managed to track down the group of terrorists while they were communicating—a major success. On 22 July, the joint team was able to pinpoint the location of the terrorists to a much smaller area. Based on this, security forces threw a multi-tier security ring to ensure that the terrorists could not escape. Finally, a crack team of the 4 Para managed to get to the terrorists and the Indian Army announced their killing in Operation Mahadev on 28 July. 'We received a successful confirmation from sensors on 22 July. Then, a joint team of CRPF, Jammu and Kashmir Police, led by jawans from 4 Para of the Indian Army, encircled the terrorists. The five human (intelligence) assets were also sent for operation, and the three terrorists were killed in the operation,' Shah told Lok Sabha. He said that further identification of the terrorists was done once the bodies were taken to Srinagar. 'NIA earlier arrested those who sheltered these terrorists. When their bodies were brought to Srinagar, we got them to identify the bodies.' Shah said. Shah added that the forces also matched the bullet casings from the Pahalgam massacre site to the weapons found on the terrorists to establish that the same weapons were used. 'After these terrorists were killed, their rifles were seized. One was an M9, the other two were AK-47s. We got these rifles flown to Chandigarh central FSL (forensic science laboratory) on a special plane,' Shah said, adding that these rifles were then fired to get empty bullet shells. 'These were then matched with those found in Pahalgam by the FSL personnel who worked through the night. It was then confirmed that these three rifles were used to murder our innocent civilians,' Shah said. 'I have the ballistic report, which has been cross-checked by six experts who confirmed on a video call at 4.46 am today that the rifles recovered from the terrorists are the same used in Pahalgam,' Shah added.

3 terrorists who carried out Pahalgam attack killed in Op Mahadev: Home Minister Amit Shah to Lok Sabha
'Three terrorists were killed in a joint operation of the Indian Army, CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police. One of the terrorists, Suleiman, was a Grade A category commander of LeT (Lashkar-e-Taiba), and our agencies have ample evidence of his involvement in the Pahalgam and Gagangir terrorist attacks. Both Afghan and Jibran were Grade A category terrorists,' Shah said on the second day of discussion over the Pahalgam terror attack in the lower house of the parliament. Giving details of the investigation into the 22 April terror attack, Shah said that the three terrorists were identified as Suleiman alias Faizal Jatt, Afghan and Jibran, adding that their involvement in the attack was confirmed by both forensic analysis and eyewitness accounts. New Delhi: All three terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam terrorist attack were killed in Operation Mahadev, Union Home Minister Amit Shah informed the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. 'All three terrorists behind the Pahalgam terror attack have now been killed,' he asserted. Twenty-six people, including a Nepalese national, were killed and several others injured in what was one of the deadliest attacks in the Kashmir Valley in recent years. Shah recalled that a high-level security meeting was held in Srinagar, including heads of the intelligence and investigative agencies, on 23 April, in which deliberation took place on how to stop the terrorists from fleeing the country. The Intelligence Bureau (IB), he said, received a tip-off from a human intelligence source on 22 May regarding the presence of these terrorists around the Dachigam forest area. The IB and the Indian Army activated a satellite instrument in the area between 22 May and 22 July, under which personnel from the IB, Army and CRPF carried out foot patrols in the area to further corroborate the intelligence inputs received from human sources, he added. 'We received a successful confirmation from sensors on 22 July. Then, a joint team of CRPF, Jammu and Kashmir Police, led by jawans from 4 Para of the Indian Army, encircled the terrorists. The five human (intelligence) assets were also sent for operation, and the three terrorists were killed in the operation,' Shah told Lok Sabha. Discussing the breakthroughs leading to the successful operation and identification of the terrorists, Shah said that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) brought in four eyewitnesses who identified the slain terrorists as the ones who carried out the Pahalgam attack. He also stated that the forensic analysis of the evidence such as cartridges from the crime scene, was conducted and studied by the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) in Chandigarh. 'When these terrorists were killed, weapons such as an M4 rifle and two AK-47s were recovered from them. The cartridges removed from Baisaran valley were also of these firearms, but we did not end here. These rifles were sent to Chandigarh CFSL through a special plane at midnight last night. These rifles and the cartridges were matched, and a successful matching confirmed that these weapons recovered from the slain terrorists were used in the Pahalgam terrorist attack,' Shah said. 'I have the ballistic report, which has been cross-checked by six experts who confirmed on a video call at 4.46 am today that the rifles recovered from the terrorists are the same used in Pahalgam,' Shah added.
