New Delhi, Jul 6 (NVI): The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday filed a supplementary chargesheet against Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Saeed in connection with the 2025 Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 people, including 25 tourists and a local civilian.
The chargesheet was filed before the NIA Special Court in Jammu, naming Saeed in his individual capacity as well as the chief of the banned LeT and its proxy outfit, The Resistance Front (TRF).
According to the agency, Saeed has been charged under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), including offences related to waging war against India and criminal conspiracy allegedly hatched from across the border.
The supplementary chargesheet forms part of the agency’s ongoing investigation and contains details of the alleged conspiracy, Saeed’s role and evidence collected through scientific investigation and field inquiries, the NIA said.
The agency had earlier filed its original chargesheet on December 15, 2025, naming Pakistani handler Sajid Jatt, three terrorists killed during Operation Mahadev in July 2025, two arrested accused, and the banned LeT/TRF as a legal entity for allegedly planning and executing the attack.
The terror attack took place at Pahalgam in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district on April 22, 2025, when terrorists targeted tourists, killing 26 people.
The case was initially registered at Pahalgam Police Station before being handed over to the NIA by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. The agency said its investigation into the larger cross-border conspiracy is continuing.(NVI)
