Men Who Gave Shelter To Pahalgam Terrorists Arrested

Kashmir News: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested two men for harbouring the terrorists who had carried out the deadly attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam.

The two men, Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar, from Pahalgam, have disclosed the identities of the three armed terrorists involved in the attack. They also confirmed that the terrorists were Pakistani nationals affiliated with the proscribed terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

The investigation agency said Parvaiz and Bashir had knowingly harboured the three armed terrorists at a seasonal hut at Hill Park before the attack. The two men had provided food, shelter and logistical support to the terrorists, who had, on the fateful afternoon, selectively killed the tourists on the basis of their religious identity.

The NIA, which has arrested the duo under Section 19 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, is further investigating the case registered after the attack that shook the world on 22 April.
