The National Investigation Agency ( NIA) has begun the process of formally taking over the Pahalgam terror attack case, in which 26 tourists were shot dead, following orders from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), reports said on April 27.
NIA teams, which have been camping at the terror attack site since Wednesday, have intensified the search for evidence.
The eyewitnesses are being questioned in minute detail to piece together the sequence of events that led to one of the worst terror attacks in Kashmir.
The entry and exit points are being closely scrutinised by the investigating NIA teams for clues to the modus operandi of the terrorists.
The attack occurred on April 22, when militants targeted tourists at the picturesque Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, resulting in the deaths of 25 Indian citizens and one individual from Nepal, with many others sustaining injuries.
In response to the attack, the Indian Army has heightened its alert status and initiated multiple search operations aimed at apprehending the terrorists involved.
The shocking nature of the incident has led to widespread outrage across the nation, prompting mass protests that are calling for more stringent measures against Pakistan in light of the attack in Pahalgam.
In retaliation for the assault, the Indian government has decided to suspend the 1960 Indus Water Treaty, a move that signifies a deterioration in bilateral relations.
Additionally, the Attari checkpost has been closed as part of the government's response to this audacious act of violence against its citizens.
