Pahalgam Terror Attack: 2 People Who Aided Pakistan Terrorists in Carrying Out the Attack Sent To 10-Day NIA Remand

Two persons have been sent to 10-day NIA remand on Monday for assisting the three main accused in the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025.

They have been identified as Parvaiz Ahmad and Bashir Ahmad.

They will be in NIA custody till July 16.

Role of Parvaiz Ahmad and Bashir Ahmad in Helping Accused

In a major breakthrough in the Pahalgam terror attack case, the NIA arrested Parvaiz Ahmad and Bashir Ahmad for helping the three terrorists who carried out the barbaric attack that killed 26 innocent civilians in Pahalgam.

In an official statement, the NIA said, “The two men — Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar from Batkote, Pahalgam, and Bashir Ahmad Jothar from Hill Park, Pahalgam — have disclosed the identities of the three armed terrorists involved in the attack and confirmed that they were Pakistani nationals affiliated with the proscribed terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).”

According to the investigation, Parvaiz and Bashir knowingly sheltered the terrorists at a seasonal dhok (hut) in Hill Park prior to the attack.

The duo allegedly provided food, shelter, and logistical support to the armed assailants, who, on that fateful afternoon, selectively targeted non-Muslim tourists based on their religious identity — an act that has been described as one of the most gruesome terrorist attacks in the recent history of Jammu and Kashmir.

The NIA arrested the two under Section 19 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.
