The 2025 Pahalgam Massacre refers to the events from 22nd April, 2025, when terrorists connected to the Pakistan-supported[6][7] Islamist groups Lashkar-e-Taiba[6][8] and Hizbul Mujahideen[7][9] shot several visitors[10] in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, India.[11][12] 26 were killed, including one Nepali, and 20 others were injured.

Several world leaders, including United States president Donald Trump, Russian president Vladimir Putin, and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered sadness. In retaliation, the Indian government started Operation Sindoor.[11][13]

Background

[change | change source]

Fighting started in Jammu and Kashmir in 1989 and has continued since then,[14] although violence has gone down a lot in recent years. In 2019, India took away Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and divided it into two union territories — Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.[15] This change let local leaders give domicile status to people who could not get it before, allowing them to buy land and get jobs in the J&K.[16]

On April 10, the revenue minister said that 83,000 people have been given domicile certificates under the new rules in the past two years.[17] According to Forbes, Kashmir was already the most heavily militarized place in the world.[18][19] India has kept around 500,000 security forces in the area permanently.[20]

Massacre

[change | change source]

The attack happened at 2:50 PM on April 22 in Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam, a remote tourist area. Four to six armed men, dressed like soldiers, came out of the forest and started shooting at the crowd with powerful guns. Many visitors were there enjoying the nice weather after days of rain.[11][21]

Targeting of non-Muslims

[change | change source]

The attackers asked people their names and religions before shooting them. Some tourists said they were told to recite an Islamic verse so the attackers could separate them by religion.[22][23][10]

Men were forced to remove their trousers to check for a lack of circumcision before being shot at close range, and video footage from the scene showed scenes of panic with injured victims pleading for help and bodies strewn across the ground.[24] A local pony operator, Syed Adil Hussain Shah, reportedly tried to protect the tourists and wrestle the gun from one of the attackers before being shot and killed.[25][26]

Casualties

Nationality Dead Injured
 India 25 20

Total 26 20

At least 28 people lost their lives, and many people were seriously injured. Emergency workers arrived quickly after hearing about the attack. Two badly hurt people were taken to Anantnag District Hospital around 4:30 PM, while others went to nearby clinics. Some victims were flown by helicopter to a military hospital in Srinagar for further treatment.[27][28]

At least 20 people were injured.[29][30] The dead included those from Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Odisha, Gujarat, Haryana, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh, as well as injured from Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.[31][32] The casualties included a 26-year-old Indian Navy officer and an Intelligence Bureau official.[33][34]

Witnesses stated that most of the victims were male, with one assailant allegedly telling a woman that she was being spared so she could "narrate the horrors" to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Several victims were shot at close range, and video footage from the scene showed bloodied people lying on the ground and others pleading for help.[35] The local police and the Indian Army started a joint search operation in the area. Helicopters were used to find the perpetrators, and some parts of Pahalgam were temporarily locked down.[36]

Perpetrators

[change | change source]

The massacre was committed by five terrorists, including three Pakistani nationals and two local residents from Jammu and Kashmir.

Responsibility

[change | change source]

The massacre was claimed by The Resistance Front, a group related to the Lashkar-e-Taiba, backed by Pakistan,[42] and Hizbul Mujahideen blaming the settlement of over 85,000 non-Kashmiris that were driving a "demographic change."[43]

Response

[change | change source]

Indian prime minister Narendra Modi cut short his visit to Saudi Arabia and said that those responsible would be brought to justice, emphasizing India's resolve to combat terrorism.[44] Union Home Minister Amit Shah travelled to Srinagar to assess the situation and coordinate the security response. Union minister for finance and corporate affairs Nirmala Sitharaman cut short her official visit to the United States and Peru. Security forces launched a manhunt to apprehend the perpetrators, and a helpline was established to assist affected tourists.[45] On April 23, the Indian Army gave limited clearance for the operation of HAL Dhruv for counter-terrorism operations. The fleet was otherwise grounded.[46]

Investigation

[change | change source]

The National Investigation Agency initiated an investigation into the massacre after visiting the site on 23 April.[47][48] Security agencies released sketches of three of the terrorist involved in attack and stated that all of them were linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba and at least two are believed to be Pakistani.[49][50] Intelligence agencies identified Saifullah Kasuri alias Khalid, a top LeT commander, as the mastermind of the massacre.[51] As part of these measures, authorities demolished properties belonging to individuals identified as attackers.

Within 40 hours following the terrorist attack, Indian security forces identified terror launch pads and training camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Around 150–200 trained terrorists were reportedly stationed there, with the Pakistan Army aiding infiltration efforts. A failed attempt made by 642 Mujahid Battalion near the Battal sector led to heavy Pakistani casualties. Additionally, 60 foreign terrorists from groups like Hizbul Mujahideen, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Lashkar-e-Taiba were found to be active in Jammu and Kashmir.[52]

Survivor testimonies

[change | change source]

Accounts from survivors indicated that an attacker spared a woman telling that she was being spared so she could "narrate the horrors" to the Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi.[53][54] One of the victims was a Christian from Madhya Pradesh named Sushil Nathaniel, who got shot dead because when asked to recite Kalma, the Islamic declaration faith, he was unable do so as he was Christian.[55] A Hindu, who recited Kalma was spared to live, when he started chanting louder when the terrorist asked him what he was reciting.[56][57][58][59]
