NIA Chargesheet Details TRF's Claim and Digital Denial of 2025 Pahalgam Attack
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) chargesheet reveals that The Resistance Front (TRF), linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), initially claimed responsibility for the April 22, 2025 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, including tourists. Following international condemnation, TRF retracted its claim and launched a digital campaign using automated bots to promote a false-flag narrative blaming Indian agencies. The NIA's probe also highlights Pakistan's ISI support through cyber infrastructure facilitating terror communications and coordinated extremist networks across Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab.
