Indian Armys First Pahalgam Revenge: Ex-Pakistani Army Commando, LeT Terrorist Suleiman Shah Eliminated
In a significant win for security forces, three terrorists were killed under 'Operation Mahadev' in the Dachigam area of Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar district on Monday. Among them were two terrorists linked to the brutal incident in Pahalgam on April 22, including Suleiman Shah, who was reportedly the mastermind. All three were killed in an intense gunfight with security forces in the higher reaches of Dachigam National Park, near the Mahadev peak in the Harwan area of Srinagar. This came after an anti-terrorist operation was started on Monday by the security forces in the Dachigam National Park. Who Is Suleiman Shah? NDTV reported, citing sources, that Suleiman Shah was a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist and an ex-commander of the Pakistani Army's Special Service Group (SSG). Later, he joined the terrorist outfit. The report further stated that Suleiman Shah infiltrated India in September 2023. Over a year later, in October 2024, he allegedly led a terrorist attack on a camp housing workers of a private firm, killing seven civilians. He was also reportedly involved in the Baramulla attack in which four security personnel lost their lives. The Indian Army, J&K Police, and the security forces have been launching aggressive anti-terrorist operations across the area targeting terrorists, Over Ground Workers (OGWs), and sympathisers of terrorism to dismantle the ecosystem of terror in the UT. Operation Mahadev IANS quoted an army official as saying, 'The operation is still going on in the area. The exact identity of the slain terrorists is being ascertained.' 'The anti-terrorist operation was started following Intelligence inputs. Reinforcements were rushed to the spot as the area is densely populated and the terrain under operation is tough,' an official said. OP MAHADEV Contact established in General Area Lidwas.

The heinous terrorist attack outraged the entire country, and the government gave the Indian Armed Forces a free hand to avenge the brutal killings. Following this, the Indian Armed Forces launched 'Operation Sindoor' and carried out target-specific strikes against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), destroying nine terror bases. Pakistan retaliated to India's precision strikes by targeting military and civilian facilities, destroying scores of homes and other private property and religious places, including a temple, a gurdwara, and a church in Poonch district of Jammu division. In the resultant escalation, 18 defence bases of the Pakistan armed forces were damaged. However, on May 10, India and Pakistan reached a ceasefire agreement after Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) reached out to his Indian counterpart.

Three terrorists killed in gunfight in Srinagar district, identification process underway
Srinagar: Three terrorists were cornered and killed in a gunfight with the security forces under 'Operation Mahadev' in the Dachigam area of J&K's Srinagar district on Monday, the army said. The three terrorists were killed in an intense gunfight with the security forces in the higher reaches of Dachigam National Park near the Mahadev peak in the Harwan area of Srinagar. "The operation is still going on in the area. The exact identity of the slain terrorists is being ascertained," an army official said. The killings of the three terrorists came after an anti-terrorist operation was started on Monday by the security forces in the Dachigam National Park. "The anti-terrorist operation was started following Intelligence inputs. Reinforcements were rushed to the spot as the area is densely populated and the terrain under operation is tough," an official said. The Indian Army, J&K Police and the security forces have been launching aggressive anti-terrorist operations across the area targeting terrorists, Over Ground Workers (OGWs) and sympathisers of terrorism in order to totally dismantle the ecosystem of terror in the UT. The focus previously used to be merely on the elimination of terrorists, but since 2019, Lt Governor Manoj Sinha has given an elaborate and extensive narrative and objective to anti-terrorist operations by speaking of the terror ecosystem and bringing it into focus. The concept of security has since undergone a sea-change as the entire gamut of anti-nationalist operatives, whether armed or not, has been brought under the anti-terrorist operations. After the April 22 terror attack by Pakistan-backed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists in Baisaran meadow of Pahalgam, in which 26 people were killed, the anti-terrorist operations have been using cutting-edge technology, backed up with human Intelligence to defeat the nefarious designs of the terrorists. The heinous Pahalgam terrorist attack outraged the entire country, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave the armed forces a free hand to avenge the Pahalgam attack. Indian armed forces carried out target-specific strikes against terror infrastructure deep inside Pakistan, destroying nine terror bases. However, Pakistan retaliated by targeting military and civilian facilities, destroying scores of homes and other private property and religious places, including a temple, a gurdwara and a church in Poonch district of Jammu division. In the resultant escalation, 18 defence bases of the Pakistan armed forces were damaged.

Pahalgam Probe: Terrorists Fired In Air While Fleeing; ISI Likely Used New Module For Secrecy
Last Updated: A new witness has reportedly told NIA that he was asked to recite the Kalma and was possibly spared because his accent confirmed he was a local. The NIA investigation into the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack is gaining momentum. Following the custodial interrogation of two harbourers, Parvaiz Ahmed and Bashir Ahmad, the NIA has now identified a local witness who saw the terrorists while they were escaping. 'The terrorists fired in the air, possibly to deter anyone from helping. This is when the witness encountered them," a senior security official told CNN-News18. According to officials, the NIA has recovered empty cartridges from the location where the firing took place, supporting the witness's account. The witness stated that he was asked to recite the Kalma and was possibly spared because his accent confirmed he was a local. Many survivors have reported that the terrorists used Kalma recitation for religious profiling before killing 26 people in Baisaran. Officials have corroborated the testimonies of the witness and the harbourers, successfully identifying the terrorists. One of the three has been identified as Hashim Musa, a former Pakistani army regular. Musa is suspected of masterminding the Sonmarg Z Modh tunnel attack, which resulted in the deaths of six labourers and a doctor. 'The other two have no previous records and appear to have infiltrated recently for the Pahalgam attack," an intelligence agency official stated. Agencies have also found no prior records for the harbourers, Parvaiz Ahmed and Bashir Ahmad, suspecting that this was a deliberate ISI strategy to create a new module with minimal involvement of local Kashmiri terrorists or known Over Ground Workers (OGWs). Officials believe this was done to maintain top-level secrecy. Initially, it was suspected that three to five terrorists carried out the Baisaran Valley attack, but so far, the NIA has identified three Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists, all Pakistani nationals. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
