Operation Sindoor 2.0? Pakistan secretly rebuilding terror infrastructure near..., India can now...
Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif Operation Sindoor 2.0: After India conducted massive attacks on Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir in its Operation Sindoor killing more than a hundred terrorists, fresh intelligence reports are suggesting that Pakistan is secretly rebuilding its terror infrastructure using advanced and sophisticated technology. Through its new tactics, Pakistan is rebuilding with the use of encrypted communication tools, satellite phones, and drones to avoid detection. As per reconstruction plan, the new plan accommodates smaller batches of 20–30 terrorists, as opposed to the earlier practice of training 70–80 militants at once. 'ISI has chosen new terror training centres at places like Athmuqam, Sardi, Lipa, Kotli, Kahuta, Jankote and Chamankot in PoK which are surrounded by forests and small mountains and where it is easy to hide the terrorists and keep them for long time,' Deccan Herald quoted sources as saying. 'The training of fresh recruits is being supervised not just by Pakistani handlers, but also by some former terrorists from Kashmir who have now crossed over and are operating from PoJK,' the sources revealed. Special court grants NIA 10-day remand of two Pahalgam terror accused In another important event related to the Pahalgam attack, a special court of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) granted a 10-day remand of the two accused who were arrested for harbouring Pakistani terrorists behind the deadly Pahalgam terror attack in April, officials said. A local court had earlier granted the NIA a five-day remand of the two accused on Monday, which expired on Friday. The NIA produced the duo before the special NIA court, which granted a further 10-day remand, they said. The two men — Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar of Batkote, Pahalgam; and Bashir Ahmad Jothar of Hill Park, Pahalgam — were arrested by the NIA on Sunday in the first major breakthrough in the investigation into the April 22 attack that left 26 people, mostly tourists, dead and 16 others injured.

Pahalgam attack: 2 accused to remain in police remand till July 7
A special court of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday extended the police remand of the two men, who had allegedly harboured three Pakistani terrorists responsible for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that left 26 people dead and scores injured. 'The police remand of Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar has been extended for 10 days till July 7,' said a senior official, who declined to be named. Parvez Ahmad and Bashir Ahmad bring taken to a court in in Jammu on Friday. (ANI) On Monday, the two men were produced before a Jammu court that had remanded them to five-day NIA remand. The NIA had arrested the two men on Sunday for allegedly harbouring the terrorists who killed 26 civilians in Pahalgam two months ago. It was the first set of arrests in connection with the terror attack, the NIA had stated. The NIA had said that Parvaiz and Bashir knew about the terror affiliations of the three gunmen and despite that they provided them with shelter, food and logistical support in the days leading up to the April 22 attack. The duo disclosed the identities of the three armed terrorists involved in the attack, and have also confirmed that they were Pakistani nationals affiliated to the proscribed terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), the anti-terror agency has said. The Resistance Front, a proxy group of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba organisation, claimed responsibility for the attack. Security agencies say the group is a front used by Pakistan to avoid international sanctions. India responded with Operation Sindoor on May 7, bombing nine terrorist camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in pre-dawn strikes that killed at least 100 militants. The operation sparked four days of cross-border fighting between the two nuclear-armed countries, involving fighter jets, missiles and artillery. US President Donald Trump claimed that he had enforced a ceasefire between the two warring countries. However, India has outrightly denied that the US was behind the truce.

No Locals Were Involved In Pahalgam Terror Attack, Says CM Omar Abdullah
Last Updated: His statement came days after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested two locals---Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar--- for allegedly harbouring the terrorists. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday said that there is no local involvement in the April 22's Pahalgam terror attack which claimed the lives of 26 individuals, mostly tourists. He further said that those who allegedly provided shelter to terrorists 'probably did so under duress." 'There was no local involvement in the Pahalgam incident. The people who shot and killed those 26 persons were all outsiders," Abdullah said during an inauguration event in Gulmarg on Tuesday. His statement came days after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested two locals—Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar— for allegedly harbouring the terrorists in Pahalgam's Hill Park area. 'According to the NIA investigation, two locals have been arrested for assisting them, possibly by providing food, though coercion cannot be ruled out. Let the investigation proceed," Abdullah added. He further emphasised that the ongoing NIA probe would determine further details, with legal proceedings to follow. The Chief Minister further urged the probe agency 'not to draw sweeping conclusions." 'We must not allow the actions of a few foreign militants to paint our people as collaborators," Abdullah said. Meanwhile, the NIA said that both the arrested suspects knew about the terror affiliations of the three gunmen and despite that provided them with shelter, food and logistical support in the days leading up to the April 22 attack. The duo has also disclosed the identities of the three terrorists and have also confirmed that they were Pakistani nationals affiliated to the proscribed terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). A local court in Jammu on Monday granted the NIA five-day remand of the two the accused who were arrested. Pahalgam Terror Attack In one of the biggest attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, Lashkar-linked terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists in Pahalgam on Tuesday, April 22, killing at least 26 people, including foreign tourists, and injuring many others. The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar offshoot, claimed responsibility for the attack, although it later backtracked after massive global outrage. India responded with Operation Sindoor on May 7, bombing nine terrorist camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in pre-dawn strikes that killed at least 100 militants. The operation sparked four days of cross-border fighting involving fighter jets, missiles and artillery. First Published: June 25, 2025, 08:10 IST
