NIA team reaches terror-hit Pahalgam
NEW DELHI: A team of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) led by an Inspector General on Wednesday reached terror-hit Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, official sources said.
The team would provide assistance to the local police probing Tuesday’s dastardly terrorist attack, the sources said.
The anti-terror agency’s team visited the Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam, the spot of Tuesday’s deadly terrorist strike, they said.
Security agencies have released sketches of three men suspected to be involved in the gruesome attack.
The trio, identified as Pakistanis, are Asif Fauji, Suleman Shah and Abu Talha, officials said.
The sketches were prepared with the help of the survivors’ description of the attackers, they said.
The Resistance Front (TRF), a shadow outfit of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist group, claimed responsibility for the attack.
