In its 13,500-page charge sheet, NIA to charge Masood Azhar and his brothers who allegedly carried out the Pulwama attack at the behest of Pakistan.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday recorded a charge sheet in February 14, 2019, Pulwama terror assault naming Maulana Masood Azhar, his more younger siblings – Abdul Rouf Asghar Alvi and Ammar Alvi, his nephew Mohammad Umar Farooq, an exceptionally talented Afghan trained improvised hazardous gadget- making master – and 15 other people who completed the gruesome attack at Pakistan‘s behest.
NIA to present 13,500-page charge sheet which provides proof of Pakistan’s role in the Pulwama attack:
As per the 13,500-page charge sheet documented in a Special NIA court in Jammu, Umar Farooq (who was murdered in an encounter by security personnel on March 29 a year ago) had arranged two jerry can based IEDs – weighing 160 kg and 40 kg separately – involving gelatine sticks, ammonium nitrate, ammonium powder, and RDX, and the equivalent was fitted in the Maruti Eeco vehicle by February 6, 2019 morning itself. The JeM had earlier intended to complete the assault in the first seven day stretch of February 2019 itself. Yet, it needed to defer its arrangements as the highway was shut because of substantial climate and caravan developments had halted. While the RDX was smuggled from Pakistan to India, different explosives were gathered by JeM agents and overground laborers from nearby stone quarries, NIA investigation has uncovered.
NIA to charge Umar Farooq in the Pulwama Attack:
As per NIA, Umar Farooq (24) was the child of Ibrahim Athar, Azhar’s younger sibling who alongside four others had captured the IC-814 Indian Airlines trip in December 1999 after which India needed to deliver the JeM boss. In its charge sheet, NIA has incorporated every one of his visits with his uncles Rouf Asghar and Ammar Alvi, in which they were ceaselessly providing directions before, during, and after the terror attack.
Forty Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) staff were executed in the assault that carried India and Pakistan to the edge of war.
