The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday (December 15, 2025) charged seven persons in the Pahalgam terror attack case in a Jammu court, including Pakistani handler and terrorist Sajid Jatt of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and The Resistance Front (TRF) terrorist organisations, and traced the conspiracy to Pakistan.
“Through a meticulous scientific probe spanning the past almost eight months, it had traced the conspiracy in the case to Pakistan, which has been unabatedly sponsoring terrorism against India,” an NIA spokesperson said.
The NIA invoked a penal Section of the law against the accused for “waging war against India”.
