In a major anti-terror op, 3 Pakistani terrorists linked to Pahalgam attack were killed by Indian forces on Monday in a gunfight in Srinagar.

Union home minister Amit Shah, while speaking in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, slammed the Opposition saying he had expected them to welcome the killing of terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack during Operation Mahadev, but instead, they appeared “unhappy".

“I was expecting that when they hear this news of killing of the Pahalgam terrorists, they will be happy, but instead they don't seem happy about it,” Amit Shah said during the discussion on Operation Sindoor and the April 22 Pahalgam attack in the Monsoon Session of Parliament.

He further informed Parliament, “In a joint Operation Mahadev, the Indian Army, CRPF and J&K Police have neutralised three terrorists who were involved in the Pahalgam terror attack.”

Providing more details, he said, "All three terrorists - Suleman, Afghan and Jibran were killed in yesterday's operation. The people who used to supply food to them were detained earlier. Once the bodies of these terrorists were brought to Srinagar, they were identified by those who were kept detained by our agencies."

One of the dead has been identified as Jibran, a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) member suspected to be involved in the October 2023 Sonamarg Tunnel attack, which killed seven people, including a doctor.
