Pahalgam attack happened due to betrayal by own people! 15 Kashmiri overground workers are suspects, suspected of helping terrorists: According to sources, the focus has been set on five main suspects, out of which three have been caught and preparations are underway to arrest them. All five suspects were present in the area at the time of the attack and their phone locations have also been revealed. A chat between the three detained accused has also been recovered, which mentions their role in the attack.

A joint team of NIA, Jammu and Kashmir Police, Intelligence Bureau and RAW is interrogating 10 other OGWs. More than 200 overground workers have been detained and interrogated. Among them, there are 20-25 such OGWs who are already notorious for being in touch with and sheltering Pakistani terrorists.
