Pahalgam horror: Inside details of how Pakistan army planned attack & how Modi govt may respond

Published on Apr 23, 2025 02:20 pm IST

India's Jammu & Kashmir on April 22 witnessed one of the most horrific terror attacks in recent years. The attack took place at the scenic Baisaran meadow, a popular tourist spot near Pahalgam which is also referred to as 'mini Switzerland. Prime Minister Narendra Modi cut short his Saudi Arabia visit and returned to Delhi, while Home Minister Amit Shah rushed to Kashmir on Tuesday as the attack prompted urgent high-profile moves and changes in plans. The suspects have been identified as Asif Fauji, Suleman Shah and Abu Talha, officials cited in a PTI news agency report said, adding that they also had code names -- Moosa, Yunus and Asif -- and were involved in terror related incidents in Poonch. Authorities are suspecting that the attackers may have crossed over from Kishtwar in Jammu and reached Baisaran via Kokernag in South Kashmir to carry out one of the deadliest strikes targeting civilians in the Valley. In this episode of Hindustan Times' Point Blank, Executive Editor Shishir Gupta speaks on the deadly attack and how the Modi government may respond. Watch here.
