NIA charges LeT founder Hafiz Saeed over Pahalgam attack

LeT founder Hafiz Saeed
India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday filed a supplementary chargesheet against Pakistan-based militant Hafiz Saeed, accusing him of orchestrating the cross-border conspiracy behind last year's deadly attack in Pahalgam, media reports said.
 
The chargesheet also detailed Pakistan's role in last year's attack, reports said.
 
The NIA said Saeed was charged both in his individual capacity and as chief of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and its proxy outfit, The Resistance Front (TRF), according to the reports. The TRF and the LeT are designated as terrorist organizations by the US and India.
 
The supplementary chargesheet expands on the agency's original 1,597-page chargesheet with details of Pakistan's alleged role, Saeed's involvement and evidence gathered during the investigation.
 
The 2025 Pahalgam attack in India-administered Kashmir killed 26 people, mostly Hindu men, which triggered a four-day conflict between nuclear-armed neighbors India and Pakistan.
 
Saeed is designated as a "most-wanted terrorist" in India and is accused of being behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
