MAY 1: With so much hue and cry about the Pahalgam incident which has claimed the lives of 26 innocent civilians, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) Director General (DG) on Thursday reached Pahalgam.
It is learnt that NIA began investigating Pahalgam terror case after taking it from J&K Police on Sunday.
Notably, Pakistan-based proscribed terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba’s proxy, The Resistance Front (TRF), has claimed responsibility for the attack.
NIA is expected to carry out the intense assessment of the spot where attack occurred, collect the forensic evidence and help in identifying the accused.
Besides, security forces have also stepped up the security grid across Jammu and Kashmir to dismantle the terror network and thwart the nefarious bids in future.
