Overview

  • Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar were remanded by a special NIA court in Jammu until July 16 for further interrogation.
  • Investigators allege the brothers provided shelter and food at a seasonal hut in Pahalgam before the April 22 massacre that killed 26 tourists and wounded 16 others.
  • The Jothar brothers identified the three Pakistani nationals linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba who carried out the deadly attack.
  • They face charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Official Secrets Act as authorities expand their investigation.
