SRINAGAR — The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday filed a 535-page chargesheet against an arrested accused and three killed Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorists in connection with the February 22 terror attack in Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir.
The chargesheet was filed before the NIA Special Court in Jammu against arrested accused M ane er Ahmed, son of Mohammad Yousuf Koli, a resident of Naidgam, Chatroo, Kishtwar, and three killed Pakistani terrorists, including Saifullah, a JeM commander, and Atiq Nazir alias Atiq Ur Rehman.
According to the NIA, the chargesheet details the conspiracy and the roles of the accused in the attack at Wani Mohalla, Passer Kote, Chatroo, on February 22, 2026.
The agency has accused M aneer Ahmed of harbouring and concealing terrorists involved in attacks on security forces and civilians in the hilly district. It has invoked relevant provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), 1967, and charges relating to waging war against India and conspiracy.
The NIA said the three terrorists were affiliated with the Kashmir Tigers (Azrael Group), which operates under the banner of the proscribed JeM. The group was active in the upper reaches of Kishtwar and was allegedly involved in several attacks that resulted in the deaths of security personnel and civilians.
The agency said its investigation, spanning nearly five months, traced the conspiracy to Pakistan. Further investigation in the case is underway. — (KIMS)
