In a major breakthrough, Indian intelligence agencies have identified Hashim Musa, a former Pakistani para-commando, as the mastermind behind the recent Pahalgam terror attack that claimed multiple lives. Musa, now a top operative for the Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), was deployed to Jammu and Kashmir with the singular mission to target non-locals and Indian security personnel.
According to a report, the investigation has provided undeniable proof of the direct involvement of Pakistan’s Army and its spy agency, ISI, in orchestrating the brutal attack, further substantiating India’s long-standing claims about Islamabad’s role in cross-border terrorism.
A senior security official revealed chilling details, stating, “It is possible that Pakistan’s Special Service Group (SSG) lent Musa to LeT, showcasing how terror groups and state agencies in Pakistan operate hand in glove.”
The Special Service Group (SSG), Pakistan’s elite special forces unit, is renowned for its expertise in unconventional warfare, covert operations, and guerrilla tactics. Musa’s formidable background — comprising advanced weapon handling, survival training, hand-to-hand combat, and psychological endurance — has made him a highly lethal asset for terror operations in Kashmir.
Musa’s role came to light following the interrogation of 15 Kashmiri overground workers (OGWs) who had provided logistical support and conducted reconnaissance for the Pakistani terrorists. The probe not only unearthed Musa’s direct involvement in the Pahalgam massacre but also linked him to previous attacks:
- Gagangir, Ganderbal (October 2024): The brutal murder of six non-local workers and a doctor.
- Buta Pathri, Baramulla: An ambush that killed two Indian Army soldiers and two army porters.
This discovery paints a stark picture of the growing military-grade sophistication among terrorist operatives infiltrating into Jammu and Kashmir, thanks to the Pakistani establishment’s active support.
As the investigation progresses, Indian security forces are intensifying operations to neutralize Musa and dismantle the terror networks propped up by Pakistan’s military-intelligence apparatus.
