Investigators examining the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, which resulted in 26 civilian deaths, have identified a mobile phone used by the attackers as part of a shipment imported into Pakistan in 2021. The phone was linked to Karachi-based Tech Sirat Pvt Ltd and financed through Faysal Bank. Both phones associated with the attack were inactive for years until shortly before the incident. The attackers, identified as Faisal Jatt, Habeeb Tahir, and Hamza Afghani, were killed in a subsequent encounter with security forces. Shipping documents indicate the consignment was delivered to Faysal Bank, raising concerns about the potential smuggling of the device to terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Investigators have also recovered a second phone imported in 2023, which remained unused until the attack preparations began. Forensic analysis of the devices yielded critical digital evidence, including reconnaissance photographs and location data, suggesting extensive planning prior to the attack, thus enhancing the investigation into the support networks behind this deadly incident.
