In a significant breakthrough, three Pakistani terrorists responsible for the Pahalgam massacre were killed during ‘Operation Mahadev’, confirmed Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Parliament. The operation took place on the outskirts of Srinagar, bringing closure to one of the most horrifying terror attacks in recent years.
Identifying the Terrorists
The three terrorists—Suleiman, Afghan, and Jibran—were confirmed to be behind the brutal killing of 26 innocent civilians in Pahalgam’s Baisan Valley. Their identities were verified after their bodies were brought to Srinagar and cross-checked with local detainees who had previously supplied food and support to them.
According to Amit Shah:
- Their Pakistani origin was confirmed using voter identity numbers and even Pakistan-made chocolates found on them.
- Weapons recovered included two AK-47 variants and an American M4 carbine, flown to Chandigarh for testing.
- Late-night testing confirmed these weapons were used in the massacre.
This meticulous investigation underscores the precision and dedication of Indian security forces in tracking down the perpetrators.
Operation Mahadev: A Strategic Success
Operation Mahadev highlights India’s commitment to ensuring justice for terror victims. The operation involved careful planning, intelligence gathering, and coordination among multiple agencies to eliminate high-value targets responsible for cross-border terrorism.
The Home Minister praised the role of security personnel in neutralizing the terrorists and ensuring that weapons used in such attacks are recovered, thoroughly tested, and documented.
Justice for Pahalgam
The Pahalgam massacre had left the nation shocked and mourning. The killing of 26 civilians was a brutal reminder of the ongoing threat of terrorism. With Operation Mahadev, the perpetrators have been brought to justice, sending a strong message to those who engage in acts of terror on Indian soil.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s detailed briefing in Parliament not only confirmed the identities of the terrorists but also demonstrated the methodical approach of Indian security forces in safeguarding the nation and delivering justice to victims’ families.
