NIA investigation found direct involvement of three terrorists in the April 22 terrorist attack.
Officials said the anti-terrorism probe agency will present the charge sheet before the special NIA court in Jammu today.
In June, the NIA had arrested two people for harboring three Pakistan-based terrorists who were killed by the armed forces in July.
The arrested duo – Parvez Ahmed Jothar from Batkote and Bashir Ahmed Jothar from Pahalgam – identified the three attackers as Pakistani nationals associated with the banned outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
NIA officials had said that the two men had provided food, shelter and logistics support to the terrorists.
He said that the three killed in the encounter named ‘Operation Mahadev’ on the outskirts of Srinagar on July 28 were hiding in the Dachigam-Harwan forest area after the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist attack.
In response to the Pahalgam attack, Indian armed forces launched precision strikes on terrorist targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on 7 May under the name ‘Operation Sindoor’.
The operation targeted nine sites, including the headquarters and training centers of LeT and Jaish-e-Mohammed, from where terror attacks against India were planned and directed.
