NIA's Pahalgam chargesheet nails Pakistan & its handler Jatt

National Investigation Agency has filed a chargesheet against Lashkar-e-Taiba, its offshoot The Resistance Front and six other individuals for their alleged role in the Pahalgam terror attack in which 25 tourists and a local were killed and several others injured in April this year.

NIA has named Pakistani handler Sajid Jatt as an accused in the 1,597-page chargesheet filed before a special court in Jammu. The chargesheet details a deep conspiracy traced back to Pakistan, which the probe agency said has been "unabatedly sponsoring terrorism against India".

The charge sheet has also named the three Pakistanis killed by security forces during 'Operation Mahadev at Dachigam, Srinagar, in July 2025'. The three have been identified as Faisal Jatt, alias Suleman Shah, Habeeb Tahir, alias Jibran, and Hamza Afghani.


The chargesheet, which details Pakistan's conspiracy, roles of the accused and supporting evidence in the Pahalgam case, has charged the banned LeT and its shadow outfit TRF as a legal entity for its role in planning, facilitating and executing the attack.

In its chargesheet, the NIA has also invoked the penal section against the accused for waging war against India.
