Overview
- The National Investigation Agency has filed a detailed chargesheet in the April 22, 2025 Baisaran (Pahalgam) attack naming Lashkar‑e‑Taiba and six individuals, including the three attackers killed in a later Dachigam encounter.
- Investigators recovered a US‑made GoPro from the slain attackers and, after contacting GoPro Inc., learned the device was originally shipped to an authorised distributor in China, prompting a new procurement line of inquiry.
- Agencies will pursue the camera’s route through international commercial channels even though India lacks a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with China, so evidence gathering must proceed through diplomatic means.
- Officials have reported a developing, unconfirmed line of inquiry that Pakistani military procurement channels may have been used to buy and pass such equipment to terror handlers, and investigators are seeking corroboration.
- Forensic work also found Chinese‑origin AK‑47 rifles at the scenes and the probe could reshape understanding of cross‑border logistics that supplied weapons and gear to attackers, with direct consequences for victims’ families and India‑Pakistan security ties.
