The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has connected the deadly Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir to Pakistan, detailing the involvement of Sajit Jatt, a handler for The Resistance Front (TRF), which is affiliated with the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). According to a comprehensive 1,597-page charge sheet, the NIA alleges that the attack was meticulously planned and executed from Pakistan, with Jatt coordinating logistics, target selection, and weapon supplies. The attack, which occurred on April 22, 2025, resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals, primarily targeting non-Muslims at a tourist site in Baisaran Valley.
