Pahalgam Terror Attack: NIA Intensifies Probe, Urges Tourists And Locals To Share Photos, Videos

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has issued a public appeal for assistance in its ongoing investigation into the deadly terror attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, in which 26 people were killed and several others injured.

In a statement on Wednesday (7 May), the NIA urged tourists, visitors, and local residents who might possess any information—especially photos or videos related to the attack—to "immediately contact the agency".

“The agency has already taken possession of a sizeable number of photographs and videos showing various aspects of the attack and is examining the same,” the release stated.

“It 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," the statement added.

"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 statement said.

NIA, which is officially in charge of the investigation into the attack, said that it is "keen to examine" all such information, photographs and videos in thorough detail to search for any possible clues to the assailants and their modus operandi.

The anti-terror probe agency said tha tourists and other might have, advertently or inadvertently, seen, heard or clicked some relevant detail that could help NIA to unravel the conspiracy behind the unprecedented targeted attack on tourists in Kashmir.

"Several photographs and videos are found to be in circulation on various social media platforms after the terrorist attack that killed 26 tourists and left several injured on 22nd April 2025. 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 statement said.

According to the statement, 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.
