Following orders from the Ministry of Home Affairs, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has begun the process of formally taking over the Pahalgam terror attack case, in which 26 tourists were shot dead on Tuesday.
The attack took place on the 22nd of this month in the Baisaran forest area of Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 people were killed and many injured.
According to agency reports, NIA teams, which have been camping at the terror attack site since Wednesday, have intensified their search for evidence. The teams, overseen by an IG, a DIG, and an SP from the anti-terror agency, are examining eyewitnesses who saw the horrifying attack unfold before their eyes in the peaceful and picturesque Baisaran Valley. The eyewitnesses are being questioned in minute detail to piece together the sequence of events that led to one of the worst terror attacks in Kashmir.
