Jammu: A special court in Jammu has extended the NIA custody of two Kashmiri youths arrested for providing shelter to terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam attack. Parvez Ahmed Jothar and Bashir Ahmed Jothar were remanded to NIA custody for another 10 days for further interrogation after their previous custody period ended.
The two were arrested on the 22nd of last month. The NIA informed the court that they had obtained details about the Pakistani terrorists who massacred 26 people in Pahalgam from the accused. Parvez and Bashir are alleged to have provided temporary shelter in a hut to the terrorists who arrived in Pahalgam a few days before the attack. They also supplied food and provided information about the area to the terrorists.
On April 22, terrorists shot dead 26 tourists in Baisaran Valley, Pahalgam. The massacre involved separating men and ensuring they were non-Muslims before the killings. The NIA suspects that more people from the region may have been involved in the incident.
