Srinagar, May 7 (UNI) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday appealed to all tourists, visitors and local people who might have any more information, photographs or videos related to the recent Pahalgam terror attack, to immediately contact the agency.
The appeal came on a day when India launched strikes on several terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in wake of the Pahalgam massacre on April 22 that left 25 tourists and a local dead.
The NIA which is officially in charge of the investigation into the Pahalgam attack, has already taken possession of a sizeable number of photographs and videos showing various aspects of the attack and is examining the same.
NIA teams have been camping in Pahalgam to examine the attack site for evidence and have also been questioning the witnesses of the horrendous crime.
The anti-terror agency has now decided to scale up its efforts even more intensely to ensure that no useful information or evidence is missed out in its investigation into the horrendous crime against humanity.
In an appeal issued today via its official website and social media handles, NIA has urged all such people to call up the agency on mobile number 9654958816 and / or on landline number – 01124368800 and provide their personal details and also the details of the kind of information or inputs they want to share.
A senior NIA official will then connect with the caller and arrange for the relevant information / photos / videos etc, to be shared with the agency.
The agency said they are keen to examine all such information, photographs and videos in thorough detail to search for any possible clues to the perpetrators and their modus operandi.
“Tourists and others might have, advertently or inadvertently, seen, heard or clicked some relevant details that could help NIA to unravel the conspiracy behind the unprecedented targeted attack on tourists in Kashmir,” NIA spokesperson said.
It added that several photographs and videos are found to be in circulation on various social media platforms.
“The anti-terror agency plans to minutely go through all these, along with any other information that might be in possession of those who were in the area on or before the fateful day,” the NIA added.
