Two Pakistanis, one local terrorist involved in Pahalgam terror attack, police release sketches

The Jammu and Kashmir Police has released the sketches of three terrorists believed to be involved in the Pahalgam attack.

The police have released the sketches of Hashim Musa alias Sulaiman, Ali Bhai alias Talha Bhai, and ⁠Adil Hussain Thokar.

While Musa and Talha are foreigners, Thokar is a local, according to the police.

In the Pahalgam attack, terrorists killed at least 26 people, most of whom were tourists. The Resistance Front (TRF) has claimed responsibility for the attack. The group is a cover that Lashkar-e-Taiba uses to portray its terrorism movement inside Kashmir as a homegrown movement instead of a Pakistan-sponsored movement.

All three terrorists named by the police carry a reward of Rs 20 lakh.

Anyone who may have information regarding the three may contact the police at phone numbers 9596777666 and 9596777669 and email dpoanantnag-jk@nic.in.
