Flooded Escape Tunnels Trapped Pahalgam Killers. Forces Hunted Them Down | Read

An all-nighter by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, scientists working through the night, a special plane from Srinagar to Chandigarh, and test-firing to match bullet casings -- it took all of this to confirm that the three terrorists killed in Operation Mahadev near Srinagar Monday were the same monsters who murdered 26 innocents in cold blood in Pahalgam's Baisaran Valley on April 22.

According to sources in the government, the Home Minister wanted to be sure before informing the Parliament that the three terrorists killed in Operation Mahadev are the ones involved in the Pahalgam attack. He was up through Monday night and constantly monitored the developments at the Chandigarh Forensic Science Laboratory over phone and video calls as scientists matched bullet casings and guns recovered after Operation Mahadev. Sources said the Home Minister was up till 5 am, communicating with scientists for a confirmation, and rested for a few hours before heading to Parliament for the big day.
