Union Home Minister Amit Shah has confirmed that the Indian Army, CRPF, and Jammu & Kashmir Police have successfully neutralised three terrorists during Operation Mahadev, a high-intensity encounter launched in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.
“In a joint operation, our forces have eliminated the perpetrators responsible for the heinous Pahalgam attack. I salute the bravery of our jawans,” Amit Shah said in an official statement.
The encounter took place near Dachigam National Park, where inputs suggested the hiding location of the militants involved in the recent terror strike that left 26 dead.
Among the neutralised was Hashim Musa, an ex-Pakistan Army special forces soldier turned terrorist, and alleged mastermind of the attack.
The successful operation marks a significant breakthrough in the fight against cross-border terrorism and sends a strong message of zero tolerance towards terror.
