NEW DELHI, May 7: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday appealed to all tourists, visitors, and local residents who might possess any information, photographs, or videos related to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack to come forward and share the material with the agency.

The NIA has already acquired a sizeable volume of photographs and videos showing various aspects of the attack and is meticulously examining them for potential evidence. Determined not to miss any valuable clues, the agency has decided to scale up its efforts to ensure every piece of relevant information is thoroughly investigated.

In an official appeal issued on May 7, the NIA urged individuals with pertinent details to contact them via mobile number 9654958816 or landline number 01124368800, and to provide their personal information along with specifics about the kind of input they wish to share. A senior NIA official will then reach out to the caller to collect the relevant material and coordinate further.

The NIA, which is officially spearheading the investigation into the brutal terrorist attack, emphasized its intent to scrutinize every piece of available data to identify possible links to the assailants and understand their modus operandi. The agency highlighted that tourists and locals might have inadvertently witnessed or recorded important details that could assist in unravelling the conspiracy behind the unprecedented attack on civilians.

The Pahalgam terror attack claimed the lives of 26 tourists and injured several others, sparking nationwide outrage and a call for swift justice. Since then, numerous photographs and videos have been circulating on social media platforms, which the NIA plans to examine alongside any new material submitted by the public.

NIA teams are currently stationed in Pahalgam, conducting a comprehensive investigation at the crime scene and questioning eyewitnesses to gather more leads into the horrific incident.
