NIA Details Lashkar-e-Taiba's Role and Digital Links in 2025 Pahalgam Attack
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has detailed how the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and its proxy, The Resistance Front (TRF), claimed responsibility for the April 22, 2025 Pahalgam attack targeting non-local civilians and Hindu tourists, killing 26. Following international condemnation, TRF retracted its claim and launched a disinformation campaign alleging Indian agency involvement. The NIA's probe also uncovered digital links between TRF and pro-Khalistan networks, suggesting coordinated extremist operations across Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab, with key figures like LeT founder Hafiz Saeed named in chargesheets.
