NIA investigations into the Pahalgam terror attack reveal the terrorists had conducted reconnaissance at three other locations—Aru Valley, Betab Valley, and an amusement park—before targeting Baisaran Valley. Their plans were foiled due to heavy security presence. The attackers stayed in Baisaran two days prior to the April 22 assault that killed 26 tourists, including one Nepali national. Four overground workers aided in planning, with 20 identified and over 180 detained so far. Victims’ families say terrorists targeted Hindus after verifying religious identity. The brutal act has intensified tensions in the region, prompting widespread security crackdowns and diplomatic fallout. (PC: PTI)
