A day after the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 26 tourists, security agencies have released sketches of the suspected terrorists believed to be behind the massacre. The visuals were compiled based on eyewitness accounts and surveillance inputs, as forces intensify efforts to track down the perpetrators.
The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), has claimed responsibility for the attack. Officials say the assault was meticulously planned, targeting a tourist bus returning from the picturesque town.
Sources in the security establishment confirmed that checkpoints have been tightened across South Kashmir and a multi-agency operation is underway to locate the terrorists. Intelligence inputs suggest the group had local support and may still be hiding in nearby forested areas.
