New Delhi , 29 Jul 2025: Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced on July 29 that the three terrorists neutralised during Operation Mahadev on the outskirts of Srinagar on Monday were involved in the Pahalgam terror attack of April 22.
“In a joint Operation Mahadev, the Indian Army, CRPF and J&K Police have neutralised three terrorists who were involved in the Pahalgam terror attack,” Shah said in Lok Sabha, speaking during a debate on Operation Sindoor on Tuesday afternoon.
Twenty-six civilians were killed in the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, after which India retaliated through precision strikes under Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir(PoK).
“All three terrorists – Suleman, Afghan and Jibran were killed in yesterday’s operation. The people who used to supply food to them were detained earlier. Once the bodies of these terrorists were brought to Srinagar, they were identified by those who were kept detained by our agencies.” Shah said in the Parliament.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh addressed the Lok Sabha during the special discussion on ‘Operation Sindoor’, India’s military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, on Monday.
