National Investigation Agency takes over Pahalgam terror attack case

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has begun the process of formally taking over the Pahalgam terror attack case, in which 26 tourists were killed, following orders from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.

The NIA teams, which have been camping at the terror attack site since Wednesday, have intensified the search for evidence.

The teams, overseen by an IG, a DIG and an SP from the anti-terror agency, are examining the eyewitnesses, who are being questioned in minute detail to piece together the sequence of events.

The entry and exit points are being closely scrutinised for clues to the modus operandi of the terrorists. The teams, aided by forensic and other experts, are checking the area thoroughly for evidence.
