New Delhi, July 6: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday filed a supplementary chargesheet against Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed in connection with the Pahalgam terror attack case.
The chargesheet was filed before the NIA Special Court in Jammu, naming Hafiz Saeed both individually and as the chief of the banned LeT and its proxy outfit, The Resistance Front (TRF). He has been charged under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), including offences related to waging war against India and cross-border conspiracy.
According to the NIA, the supplementary chargesheet adds details to the earlier 1,597-page filing, outlining Pakistan’s alleged conspiracy, Hafiz Saeed’s role, and evidence gathered during the investigation. Earlier, the agency had also named Pakistani handler Sajid Jatt, three terrorists killed during Operation Mahadev, and two arrested accused.
The April 22, 2025, attack in Pahalgam claimed the lives of 25 tourists and one local civilian. The NIA said its investigation into the case is continuing to uncover the complete conspiracy behind the attack.
