Amit Shah shares proof linking Pahalgam attackers to Pakistan, including weapons and chocolates with Pakistani markings. Full details on the investigation.

Guns, Voter‑IDs and ‘Made-in‑Pakistan’ Chocolates: Amit Shah Presents Evidence on Pahalgam Killers

Amit Shah Confirms Terrorists Killed, Linked to Pakistan

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, speaking in the Lok Sabha on July 29, 2025, revealed that Indian security forces successfully neutralized three terrorists responsible for the April 22 Pahalgam massacre. The operation, codenamed Operation Mahadev, was carried out jointly by the Indian Army, CRPF, and Jammu & Kashmir Police. The three suspects—identified as Suleiman, Afghan, and Jibran—were killed near Srinagar after intelligence confirmed their involvement in the Baisaran Valley attack that claimed 26 lives.

Shah emphasized that these individuals had been verified through detained local sources and forensic matches. Once the bodies were brought to Srinagar, those who had aided them earlier—by providing shelter or food—identified them.

Forensic Clues Confirm Pakistan Origin

Amit Shah provided detailed evidence underscoring their Pakistani origin. Among the items recovered from the slain terrorists were:

• Pakistani voter ID cards,
• Chocolates labeled “Made in Pakistan”, and
• Weapons consistent with those used in the Pahalgam attack.

He highlighted that these pieces of evidence conclusively tied the attackers to Pakistan, rejecting claims—such as those made by former Home Minister P. Chidambaram—that they were “homegrown” terrorists. Shah challenged this narrative directly, asking: “What will you gain by saving Pakistan?” and stressed: “We have proof that the three terrorists were Pakistanis.

Shah explicitly stated:

“We have their voter ID numbers. The chocolates recovered from them were made in Pakistan.

Further forensic detail included the recovery of matching rifle cartridges and weapons consistent with AK‑47 and M4 carbines—the same types used in the Pahalgam shooting on tourist victims.

Operation Sindoor and National Security Response

Following the Pahalgam attack, the Indian government launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, 2025, a targeted military intervention aimed at terrorist launchpads across the Line of Control and within Pakistan, but avoiding direct strikes on Pakistan’s military. Amit Shah framed this as a measured and precise retaliation specifically against terrorist infrastructure.

Shah described Pakistan’s response—by treating India’s strikes as an attack on its sovereignty—as proof of its support and sponsorship of terrorism. He recounted how senior Pakistan Army officials publicly mourned the terrorists killed in India’s operations.

Broader Implications and Political Context

The Lok Sabha address was part of a larger debate on Operation Sindoor and national security. Opposition MPs raised questions about the credibility of linking the attackers directly to Pakistan. Amit Shah refuted these claims, urging critics to reconsider their stance.

This debate reaffirmed the government’s commitment to a zero-tolerance policy on terrorism within India, attributing the Pahalgam attack to cross-border terrorism rather than domestic actors. It underscored an unwavering resolve: “terror and talks are not possible” and “cross-border terrorism will get an appropriate response.”

• Three terrorists (Suleiman, Afghan, Jibran) killed during Operation Mahadev near Srinagar were confirmed to have carried out the Pahalgam massacre.
• Evidence recovered—Pakistani voter IDs, chocolates, and weapon matches—conclusively linked them to Pakistan
• Operation Sindoor was a precise retaliation targeting terrorist infrastructure and reaffirmed India’s stance against cross-border terrorism.
• Amit Shah directly rebuked claims of domestic involvement and challenged critics in Parliament by asking “Whom are you trying to save?”
