New Delhi, July 6 (GNS): The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday filed a supplementary chargesheet against Pakistan-based terrorist and Lashkar-e-Taiba/The Resistance Front (LeT/TRF) chief and founder Hafiz Saeed in connection with the Pahalgam terror attack case.
In a handout to GNS, the NIA said that the chargesheet was filed before the NIA Special Court in Jammu. The agency has charged Hafiz Saeed in his individual capacity and also as the chief of the banned LeT and its active proxy organisation TRF.
NIA has invoked various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 against the accused. The chargesheet also includes sections relating to waging war against India and hatching a conspiracy from across the border.
The supplementary chargesheet, filed in continuation of the original 1,597-page chargesheet, details Pakistan’s alleged conspiracy, Hafiz Saeed’s role, and supporting evidence collected by NIA through scientific investigation and on-ground examination.
Earlier, in a chargesheet filed on 15th December 2025, NIA had named Pakistani handler terrorist Sajid Jatt as an accused, along with three terrorists killed by security forces during Operation Mahadev in July 2025, and two arrested accused. The agency had also charged the proscribed LeT/TRF as a legal entity for its role in planning, facilitating, and executing the Pahalgam attack.
The deadly attack took place in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir on 22nd April, 2025, and involved religion-based targeted killings by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists. Twenty-five innocent tourists and one local civilian were killed in the attack.
An FIR No. 25/2025 was initially registered by Police Station Pahalgam, district Anantnag. After initial investigation by Jammu and Kashmir Police, the case was transferred to NIA by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India.
NIA said it continues to probe case RC-02/2025/NIA/JMU to unravel the complete conspiracy by Pakistan, which it alleged has been actively sponsoring terrorism on Indian soil from across the border, reads the statement.(GNS)
