Biometrics, docs confirm 3 slain Pahalgam attackers were Pak nationals: Report
Security agencies have confirmed that the three foreign terrorists killed in the Dachigam forest encounter on July 28 were Pakistani nationals, citing biometric evidence and documents issued by the Government of Pakistan, reports news agency PTI. After an intense firefight between terrorists in the Harwan area, three heavily armed terrorists were killed in an encounter under Operation Mahadev.(Basit Zargar/ANI) The slain men, identified as senior Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives, were eliminated during 'Operation Mahadev' on the outskirts of Srinagar. They had been hiding in the Dachigam-Harwan forest belt since the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam's Baisaran meadow that left 26 people dead. Officials told PTI said the evidence collected, including biometric data from Pakistan's National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), laminated voter slips, digital satellite phone data, and GPS logs, conclusively established their Pakistani identity. They confirmed that no local individual was among the attackers. 'For the first time, we have government-issued Pakistani documents that prove the nationality of the Pahalgam attackers beyond doubt,' a senior official said. The three terrorists were identified as: Suleman Shah alias Faizal Jatt – A-category terrorist, lead shooter, and mastermind; Abu Hamza alias Afghan – A-grade commander and second gunman; Yasir alias Jibran – A-grade commander and third shooter. Pakistani-issued documents, including two laminated voter slips from the Election Commission of Pakistan, were recovered from the bodies of Shah and Hamza. These slips correspond to voter rolls from Lahore (NA-125) and Gujranwala (NA-79), respectively. Investigators also recovered a micro-SD card from a damaged satellite phone, containing NADRA-linked Smart-ID data—fingerprints, facial scans, and family trees—verifying the men's citizenship and addresses in Changa Manga (Kasur district) and Koiyan village near Rawalakot in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Additional items recovered included Pakistani-manufactured goods, such as wrappers of 'CandyLand' and 'ChocoMax' chocolates made in Karachi. Lot numbers on the wrappers matched a consignment sent to Muzaffarabad, PoK, in May 2024. Ballistic analysis confirmed a match between the 7.62x39 mm cartridge casings found at the Baisaran attack site and the three AK-103 rifles recovered from the July 28 encounter. DNA analysis of blood on a torn shirt found in Pahalgam also matched the mitochondrial profiles of the three slain men. According to officials, the terrorists had infiltrated into India through the Gurez sector of north Kashmir in May 2022, with intelligence intercepts recording their radio check-in from the Pakistani side. On April 21, the trio took shelter in a seasonal hut near Hill Park, 2 km from Baisaran. Two detained locals—Parvaiz and Bashir Ahmad Jothar—told investigators they had provided food and overnight shelter to the attackers before they proceeded to carry out the massacre the following day. GPS coordinates retrieved from a Garmin device carried by Shah matched eyewitness reports of firing positions during the attack. After the assault, the terrorists fled towards the Dachigam forest, where they remained hidden until the encounter. Officials also said a Huawei satellite phone (IMEI 86761204-XXXXXX) used by the attackers was actively pinging the Inmarsat-4 F1 satellite nightly between April 22 and July 25. Triangulation of its signal narrowed their hideout to a four-square-kilometre area within Harwan forest. Sketches of three suspects—Hashim Musa, Ali Bhai alias 'Talha', and local resident Adil Hussain Thoker—were initially released by Jammu and Kashmir Police on April 24. However, post-encounter verification revealed those images were based on unrelated photographs from a separate shootout in December 2024. Officials added that command-and-control links traced back to Pakistan further reinforced the country's involvement. LeT's south Kashmir operations chief, Sajid Saifullah Jatt of Changa Manga, Lahore, was identified as the overall handler. His voice samples matched intercepted communications retrieved from the satellite phone. Following the July 28 encounter, Rizwan Anees, LeT's Rawalakot chief, reportedly visited the families of the slain terrorists and organised Ghaibana Namaz-e-Janaza (funeral prayers in absentia) on July 29. Footage of this gathering has been added to India's official dossier on the case, officials said.

Simultaneous Attacks By 80 Men Leave 8 Pakistani Soldiers Dead In Balochistan
Last Updated: The attackers, believed to be part of a Baloch insurgent group, arrived in 11 vehicles and began the assault by destroying communication equipment at the outposts. Eight Pakistani soldiers were killed and 11 injured in a coordinated militant assault on Sunday night in Balochistan's Panjgur district. According to official sources, over 80 heavily armed assailants launched a complex, multi-pronged attack on three separate military checkpoints in the remote Gwargo area, dealing a severe blow to the region's fragile security environment. The attackers, believed to be part of a Baloch insurgent group, arrived in 11 vehicles and began the assault by destroying communication equipment at the outposts. This strategic move reportedly cut off the units from backup support, enabling the attackers to lay an ambush for the quick response force that was dispatched to the scene. Three security personnel remain missing, with a manhunt underway in the rugged terrain. No group has formally claimed responsibility for the assault so far, but it bears the hallmarks of recent attacks by Baloch separatist factions that have stepped up operations against Pakistani forces. This latest incident comes on the heels of one of the deadliest days for Pakistani troops in recent history. Earlier in July, at least 20 Pakistani soldiers were killed in two separate ambushes in Balochistan within 12 hours, also involving the destruction of communication links and the use of decoys to mislead reinforcements. Balochistan has seen a sharp uptick in violence over the past year, with separatist groups targeting infrastructure projects, military installations, and security convoys. The province, rich in resources but plagued by political marginalisation and insurgency, remains a flashpoint in Pakistan's internal security landscape. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

‘It Is Disgusting': Paan Stains On London Pavements Spark Anger Among Locals
People living in Harrow are upset as they keep finding red paan stains on sidewalks, bins and outside shops. Paan stains have become a big problem in many well-known cities in India. Even though the government has imposed fines to stop people from spitting paan in public, the habit continues. Shockingly, this problem has now reached the streets of London. People living in Harrow are upset because they keep finding red stains on sidewalks, bins and outside shops, which has caused a lot of anger among the locals. The local council criticised this behaviour by calling it 'disgusting" and 'unhygienic." In the video shared on Instagram, a man says, 'Residents in Harrow are raising concerns over chewing tobacco and paan spitting. Particularly in Rayners Lane and North Harrow. Paan, often mixed with tobacco leaves, blood red stains on pavements, bins and shop fronts, prompting frustration amongst locals. A new shop selling paan in North Harrow has even led to a petition. Harrow council says paan spitting is 'Disgusting, unhygienic and costly to remove,' and confirmed that in July alone, 33 fines were issued. Officers have also seized over 4000 packs of illegal tobacco as part of the ongoing crackdown." Here Is How Internet Reacted Reacting to the post, a user wrote, 'Start checking teeth while giving Visa." Another shared, 'The paan shop needs to take some responsibility for selling this tobacco." 'Keep the fines up. There's no other logical solution," a comment read. An individual stated, 'Talk about painting the town red. Literally." Another mentioned, 'You spent 200 years in India, paan stains should feel like home décor by now." One more added, 'It's a big, big problem here in India too. Our residential building elevators, staircases, and common areas all have pan stains. We can't deport such people, as they are citizens, but you guys should just deport these people. Don't let them spoil your country." Steps Have Been Initiated To Prevent Future Incidents Speaking with Harrow Online, a member of the Harrow Council said, 'Paan spitting is disgusting, unhygienic and costly to remove. We know this is a real issue for local residents, and we have been carrying out a lot of work to tackle the issue. Our Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) prohibits spitting in public and fines of £100 are issued to anyone caught. We have refreshed our Paan Action Plan to target hotspot areas where paan spitting is prevalent. In July alone, 33 fines were issued to those caught spitting in public." Officers have gone to shops that sell paan and warned them to keep their shop areas clean. They reminded the owners that they must follow the rules. In a recent check, officials found and took away over 4,000 packs of illegal tobacco and 5,000 banned cigarettes. The local team said they are serious about keeping the streets clean and will take strong steps against anyone who doesn't follow the rules.
