The investigation into the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 civilians were killed, has uncovered significant evidence directly linking the perpetrators to Pakistan. Indian security agencies recovered Pakistani National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) identity cards from the bodies of three terrorists killed during Operation Mahadev on July 28, confirming their nationality and ties to Lashkar-e-Taiba, despite Pakistan’s denial of involvement. Further, advanced LoRa communication sets seized from the scene revealed the use of sophisticated technology for secure, long-range messaging with handlers across the border. Security operations remain ongoing, with six terrorists neutralized since the attack, highlighting persistent concerns over cross-border infiltration and the adoption of encrypted communications by proxy groups.
