**NIA Seeks Public Assistance in Pahalgam Terror Attack Investigation**
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has called on tourists, locals, and visitors to assist in its investigation into the tragic terror attack that occurred on April 22 in Pahalgam, resulting in the deaths of 26 civilians and numerous injuries. The agency is requesting any photos, videos, or information that could be beneficial to the ongoing inquiry.
In a statement released through its official channels, the NIA provided two contact numbers—9654958816 and 011-24368800—for individuals to share relevant information. A senior official from the agency will follow up to collect and verify any material submitted.
Describing the incident as a “horrendous crime against humanity,” the NIA noted that while it has already gathered several visuals from the attack site, it aims to ensure that no valuable evidence is overlooked. The agency emphasized that tourists and others may have inadvertently captured crucial clues that could assist in identifying the attackers and their methods.
Images and videos related to the attack continue to circulate on social media, and the NIA is conducting a thorough review of digital evidence alongside forensic examinations at the site and interviews with witnesses in Pahalgam.
On the day of the attack, two terrorists from Pakistan and a local assailant opened fire on tourists in the picturesque Baisaran Valley, leading to the tragic loss of life. The Resistance Front (TRF), a faction of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, has claimed responsibility for this attack.
Sources within the NIA suggest that the network of a prominent LeT commander, Farooq Ahmad, may have played a significant role in facilitating the terrorists. The appeal for public assistance comes as a large-scale manhunt is underway for the individuals responsible for the Pahalgam attack. Reports indicate that the attackers remain active and concealed in the forests of south Kashmir, operating independently with their own food supplies and essential provisions, allowing them to evade capture for extended periods.
In conclusion, the NIA is urging anyone with potential information to come forward, as every piece of evidence could be vital in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
