The Resistance Front (TRF), widely seen as a front for LeT, had claimed responsibility for the attack. Indian intelligence agencies maintain that TRF is used by Pakistan to obscure LeT’s role and deflect international pressure.The attackers have been identified as Pakistani nationals Hashim Musa (alias Suleiman) and Ali Bhai (alias Talha Bhai), and a local operative, Adil Hussain Thokker. Two other locals — Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar — have been arrested for allegedly harbouring the trio.The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the attack, said Parvaiz and Bashir were aware of the terrorists’ affiliations but still provided shelter, food, and logistical support in the days leading up to the strike.India responded with Operation Sindoor on May 7, launching pre-dawn airstrikes on nine terror camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). At least 100 terrorists were reportedly killed in the precision strikes.The operation triggered four days of intense cross-border exchanges involving drones, missiles, and long-range artillery before both sides agreed to halt military action on May 10.
