2 Kashmiri Muslims Shelter Terrorists Near Baisaran Massacre Site

Recent investigations reveal troubling details about the Pahalgam massacre, particularly concerning two Kashmiri Muslims, Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar. These individuals are believed to have aided the terrorists involved in the horrific attack that left 26 civilians dead, primarily tourists, in the Baisaran Valley on April 22, 2025.

Evidence suggests that Parvaiz and Bashir provided shelter, food, and logistical support to these terrorists just three kilometers from the massacre site. They allegedly harbored the terrorists in a seasonal hut located in Hill Park, which raises significant questions about their awareness and involvement in this tragic event. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has identified them as willing facilitators of the terrorists, who were linked to the banned organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and are confirmed to be of Pakistani origin.

The Pahalgam massacre has opened a broader investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack. The NIA continues to examine the support networks that allowed such criminal activities to thrive. By uncovering individuals like Parvaiz and Bashir, investigators aim to dismantle the underlying systems that facilitate terrorism in the region.

As more information emerges, the community grapples with the impacts of this incident and the complex narratives surrounding it. It's essential to remain informed and vigilant in these matters as they profoundly affect the safety and security of the region.
