In a major breakthrough, investigators have identified three local handlers involved in the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists. Adil Hussain Thoker, a private school teacher; Adnan Shafi Dar, a third-semester BA student; and Ahsan Ul Haq Sheikh, a BA student, are suspected of aiding foreign terrorists. Linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba and its shadow group The Resistance Front (TRF), the trio reportedly facilitated the assault. Thoker has a history with Hizbul Mujahideen and training in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The incident has intensified India's crackdown on terror networks operating in Kashmir, as investigations and counter-operations continue.
