A year after the Pulwama terror attack where 40 CRPF personnel were killed, the National Investigation Agency (Nia) has not been able to track the source of high-grade explosives used by suicide bomber borne by the car Fair Ahmad Dar, a terrorist Jaish-e-Mohammad, crashed into a car to the CRPF bus at Jamath-Srinagar Highway near Pulwama on February 14, 2019.
A senior government official said explosives could not be purchased from such shelves “war ammunition is generally found in military stores.” A forensic report says that around 25 kg plastic explosives are used A Nia official said explosives packed in a car was “ammonium nitrate, nitro-glycerin and RDX”.
The investigation has reached obstacles and Nia could not submit a chargesheet because all the main suspects were dead Two main suspects – Mudasir Ahmed Khan and Sajjad Bhat, were killed in a meeting with last year’s security forces in March and June each After the attack, Jaish released a credit claiming credit for the attack. They identified the attacker as Dar, a citizen of Kakapora at Pulwama who joined the clothes in 2018. In the video, Dar was seen carrying sophisticated weapons and sat in the background of a black and white flag. He said that “when the video was released, he would be in heaven”.
This vehicle was first sold in 2011 and reselled several times before Bhat bought it on February 4, 10 days before the attack. Mudasir Ahmed Khan, another suspect, has arranged explosives, said Nia A senior government official said the “engine block” of the vehicle could not be restored due to separate blew and could be swept after falling on the river near the explosion location.
“There are many questions that have not been answered because all the perpetrators who can help bring together the investigation dead in a meeting. The car used in the attack has changed hands several times. The last person who owns a vehicle – Sajjad Bhat then joins Jaish for hours before he can be arrested . He was later killed in a meeting, “the official said.
Other officials said it was difficult to build a conspiracy because the technical evidence collected in this case could not be strengthened because there were no living suspects. “We don’t know the financial trail, how the car is set. Fair Ahmad Dar, who drives a car, is on a suicide mission. Where he gets explosives, it cannot be set,” the official said.
A Nia official said the DNA sample was extracted from the ‘small car fragment “and matched with father Dar to build and confirm the identity of the bomber bomber The official added that only “burning residues” that can be found on the attack site. “If we restored samples from bombs that did not explode, then tracking sources would be easier based on the composition and pattern of use. At the pulwama, what we can get is charred,” the official said.
A fifth suspect – Qari Mufti Yasser was killed at a meeting on January 25 this year. Fourth Suspek – Kamran was killed on March 29 last year. Video Dar was released by Jaish Spokesperson Mohd. Hassan and IP address from where claims were traced to Pakistan, the official said Under the law activity law (prevention) that violates the law, the investigation body has 90 days to submit a cost sheet in court but can be extended if the suspect is dead or extra time is needed.
In June, the Minister of State for Panti G. Kishan Reddy said in a written reply at Rajya Sabha that the Pulwama attack was not “intelligence failure” and “Investigation by Nia so far resulted in identifying conspiracy, suicide striker and vehicle providers.”
