India's NIA charges Hafiz Saeed over deadly Pahalgam tourist attack

Tuesday, 7 July 2026, 06:11 · 1 min read

India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a chargesheet against Pakistan-based Hafiz Saeed, 76, accusing the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) chief of masterminding the April 2025 attack on tourists at Pahalgam's Baisaran meadow in Indian-administered Kashmir, which killed 26 civilians. Saeed faces charges including waging war against India and conspiring across the border, with the NIA alleging that The Resistance Front — the group initially blamed for the attack — is a proxy of his banned LeT outfit. Pakistan has denied any involvement in the Pahalgam attack and has repeatedly requested evidence from India, while Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's offer of an independent investigation was rebuffed by New Delhi.
