00:00It's a big win for Bharat against Pakistan's state-sponsored radical Islamist terror.
00:07On the 22nd of April, Pakistani terrorists targeted innocent tourists.
00:13They singled out Hindus and killed them at point-blank range.
00:18Asked them to read the Kalma.
00:21And if they couldn't, they were killed at point-blank range.
00:24Finally, in July, those terrorists were initially spotted.
00:30And for over 15 days, the security forces tracked them.
00:35Finally, when they nailed them, the terrorists were apparently napping after a whole night walk
00:42when the security forces were tracking them and waiting for an opportune moment that they could be neutralized.
00:48So it's a big win for security forces after that Pehelgaam terror attack.
00:52This was a joint anti-terror operation by the special forces of the Indian Army,
00:57the Rashtra Rifles Battalion, the Jammu and Kashmir Police, the Special Operations Group
01:02and the Central Reserve Police Force in the Harwan Forest area.
01:05This is the upper reaches of Srinagar, the Dachigam Reserve Forest area.
01:10So three terrorists were killed in Operation Mahadev,
01:14including the mastermind of the Pehelgaam terror attack,
01:17an ex-commando of the Pakistan Army SSG, Hashim Musa.
01:22Now, Musa was named as the top conspirator and the executor of the Baisaran attack.
01:28He was responsible before that for the October 2024 Sonamar,
01:33the Z-Mol tunnel attack, again, on innocent people,
01:39on people who were working on that tunnel project.
01:41Labourers were killed, singled out and killed.
01:44Now, sources say some of the nomads, the Gujars who were crossing that area with their sheep,
01:51they spotted some movement about a fortnight, close to a fortnight ago.
01:56And the moment they saw the nearest army camp, they alerted the army.
01:59The army used both technical intelligence, signal intelligence and human intelligence.
02:04They triangulated that area, identified the general area where the terrorists were
02:09and a joint forces operation was mounted.
02:12Four para SF, what sources tell India today, it was leading the operation.
02:16So, the three Pakistani Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists were spotted.
02:20They were tracked.
02:22But the army waited for an opportune moment.
02:25The army had intercepted suspicious communication
02:28and had been tracking this Lashkar team.
02:31Now, we are told for close to a fortnight,
02:33the information was between five and seven terrorists of splinter groups.
02:37Now, five to seven terrorists, both of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohmad,
02:42they were operating in tandem.
02:43They were hiding in a particular area.
02:46They were neutralized this morning in the Lidwas area.
02:50Three of those, between five and seven, have been neutralized.
02:53The search is on for the remaining terrorists,
02:55possibly scattered in the forest
02:57because the terrorists were also moving in smaller groups.
03:01We are still waiting for an official word from the army.
03:05But initial information, initial information seems to suggest
03:09that the three terrorists who were involved in the Pehalgaam terror attack have been killed.
03:17These are the Dachigam heights.
03:21And this area is critical.
03:23It is an axis point.
03:24It's very strategically important
03:27because this connects many areas of South Kashmir.
03:32Through the forest route, you can reach almost all of South Kashmir
03:38from Pehalgaam to Kaukarnag and to other areas.
03:41So this was being frequently used by Jaish and Lashkar groups.
03:44Right now also, there is drone activity
03:47that one can clearly hear the sound of the drones.
03:51And here also at the gates, you have the Indian army which has been deployed.
03:55Now, as far as the operation is concerned,
03:57three Lashkar-e-Toi-ba militants have been gunned down.
04:01One name that is significant is of Suleiman Shah,
04:05alias Musa 4G, who is said to be an ex-Pakistan Special Services Group member
04:10and is on the most wanted list with 20 lakh rupees on his head.
04:15Before Pehalgaam, his name had surfaced
04:18in the investigation of the Sunmarg tunnel terror attack
04:21and then also Bhatpatri army convoy attack.
04:25In Jammu side also, he had carried out attacks.
04:27But it is Pehalgaam which made him the most wanted.
04:32His name came up.
04:34A sketch of him was released by the J&K police
04:36of the Pehalgaam attack as one of the key accused.
04:39And finally, today we've been told
04:41that he along with two others have been killed
04:43in a hideout which they had made.
04:46In fact, a night camping site deep inside the forest area.
04:50Here, one can clearly see the army activity,
04:53the Special Forces, Pera units going in.
04:55You also had other army units who were rushing inside now.
04:58The area is still under cordon.
05:00The search operation is continuing.
05:02And we've been told that there could be more in the periphery
05:05and that's why the SOP is that the operation will continue.
05:08But massive success for the security agencies.
05:10President Muzaffar Ahmed Meek Farid, Tachi Gaham for India today.
05:16The Association of the States of the Meek Farid, Tachi Gaham Khaim
05:17Jibb Tachi Gaham, Tachi Gaham, Tachi Gaham.
05:19The Association of the Meek Farid, Tachi Gaham, Tachi Gaham, Tachi Gaham, Tachi Gaham.
05:22parliament in parliament, so no one thing is good. It's good that parliament
05:26today is discussion. Because operation, the discussion is good.
05:32It's necessary to discuss the first time. And in the discussion, the
05:37government has said that it's not a good thing. It's not a good thing.
05:43Intelligence and security failure is not a good thing. So,
05:48foreign
05:55foreign
06:00foreign
06:05foreign
06:12foreign
06:17this is the news the nation was waiting i think big huge
06:45success for the security forces and the jnk police
06:49in fact since 22nd of april everyone in the country was waiting that where are these terrorists
07:00and it has come at a very very appropriate time the discussion about operation sindur post
07:08palgam attack is in fact going on in parliament why they have come to to to dachigam area because
07:18they must be looking for an opportunity to attack amarnath yatra the amarnath yatra cross is srinagar
07:25city big point big point being made by sb ved former dgp of jammu and kashmir that why did
07:33these terrorists from pehelgam come to this dachigam area were they hiding were they trying
07:39to exfiltrate or were they heading once again towards the amarnath yatra route and once again
07:45target the amarnath yatra so it wasn't just terrorists who were trying to escape and that
07:50would also indicate that if three or four terrorists are still out there there still is clear and present
07:55danger i have the finest team on indian television now joining me on this special broadcast kamal jeet
08:03korsandhu ashraf vani and sandeep unnithan you couldn't get better correspondence tracking this
08:09big big story and kamal you've been talking to your sources throughout on the movement of terrorists
08:16and how they were tracked for quite some time from human intelligence to electronic intelligence to
08:21signal intelligence kamal
08:22well yes this is a combination of both human intelligence because the nomads did confirm
08:32to the security forces that there is movement of terrorists based on which operations were launched
08:38but remember there's also the small communication device a chinese device which was used during the
08:44by saran attack by the pehelgam attackers that was on on the 15th of april and thereafter what we saw
08:52was there was an indication that on 11th of july this was activated near the dachigao area that's when
08:58security forces from different teams so there was army there was jkp the crpf all uh combing through
09:04the jungles trying to find them and then there was a further confirmation which came in on the 26th
09:09two days ago that is when there was a reconfirmation because the signal was on now the input was that
09:15the there are three foreign terrorists the information was that there were three lashkar terrorists so
09:20there was a high probability that these are the same as the module of pehelgam attackers but remember
09:26even as we speak uh there is a police team which is on its way to was the encounter site and they are
09:32the ones which will confirm meanwhile there will be a double verification because remember uh these
09:38perpetrators were fed uh they were provided support by two of uh the locals in pehelgam uh they would
09:45eventually also be called in uh but yes uh in terms of identification at least one of them seems to be
09:52resemble hashim musa based on which uh there's a early confirmation coming in that this is the
09:57perpetrator but remember a final uh official confirmation is still awaited on that and what is
10:03important and significant is who are the other two they have been uh looking like yasir and haris and
10:09what their roles are going to be so all this is going to be very important but yes as far as the operation
10:14maha dev is concerned now this is a clean operation because even if you see the videos and look through
10:19the photographs you can see very well that this was a precision strike it was a chance encounter
10:24these terrorists were caught napping because remember in these kind of uh drills they walk
10:30in kilometers and kilometers and once they tire out they usually do take a break and it seems they
10:34were caught napping and that is when the four paras chanced upon their opportunity uh they struck at them
10:40there was a massive fire and even before they could reach out to the weapon it seems they were
10:44neutralized and that is why what you see is a little retaliation either coming back or only
10:49even around the shrubs and the trees but clearly uh the operation itself is under scanner at this
10:55point of time because remember the confirmation of the identification is yet to be formally done
11:00and remember this could be a big success and obviously the identification of the two others
11:04and whether they were involved in the pergam attack as well stay with me kamal before i bring in
11:09ashraf uh let me also tell our viewers the left and general kgs dylan former kashmir corps commander
11:14also joins us on this broadcast and that big scoop that india today's kamal jeet kaur sandhu
11:19is getting india today uh right now it was the communication device let me get you the latest
11:24on that communication device that led the security forces to the perpetrators the same communication
11:31device that chinese does the device that was used before the bai saran incident and then again
11:36recently in the past two days this was a satellite phone active around the 11th of july
11:43not just that human intelligence remember when technical intelligence and human intelligence
11:49come together and they operate in tandem that's when a confirmation uh actually comes in so the
11:55gujars with their sheep as they were moving uh towards this area they saw movement of terrorists
12:01and informed the security forces scoop number four chinese satellite phone was found active recently it
12:09was found active before bai saran then 11th of july and then again recently so what did these security
12:16forces do they laid a multi-tier grid to ensure that terrorists do not slip out of the security grid
12:25so you had the central reserve police force you had the jammu and kashmir police the special operations
12:29group and then the army the raster rifles and then you had the para sf the terrorists as kamal was just
12:37reporting the terrorists were actually found napping literally caught napping they apparently
12:42had walked through the night that's the time security forces were tracking them and just as
12:47they laid this tarpaulin and they were sleeping underneath the tarpaulin the forces were lying in
12:52wait they waited for an opportune moment and opened fire the terrorists were killed in resting position
12:59what's been confirmed by sources not yet officially that hasim musha musha the team leader had lost a lot
13:08of weight was he attempting to change his look or were they running out of resources we will continue
13:14to explore that uh before i bring in general tiny dylan uh and sandy punitan uh ashraf any word from
13:22sources on the identity of the other two how long before there's an official confirmation ashraf
13:27yes absolutely gaurav basically everyone is waiting for the official confirmation and even
13:36uh it was scheduled a press conference by the 15 corps here in srinagar but that has been postponed
13:41due to some reasons but probably the reason seems that uh the army wants to get it cross-checked by the
13:47jammu kashmir police because the most part of the intelligence inputs is being handed uh handled by the
13:53jammu kashmir police and there are different uh branches and the sections in the jammu kashmir police
13:59particularly special operation group which look after the other evidences of these terrorists that
14:04relates to the cctv footage is captured in the earlier uh encounters but one thing is career why the
14:11biggest question why dachi gam was uh opted by these terrorists to hide on 22nd april when
14:18phil gam terror attack took place we on the india today were first channel who said that probably
14:23these terrorists who carried out the heinous uh terror attack in the basaran valley could be the
14:30same who have carried out the uh terror attack in under construction tunnel at sun marg because from
14:37sun marg to phil gam it is easy to reach you have to go through the uh ridges of the uh what we can
14:44say mahadev top and then you will reach tal then you can reach phil gam then from phil gam uh to avoid
14:50other main routes you can reach back to the dachi gam which is very near to the shri naga then on
14:56through those mountain ridges you can reach back to the sun marg or kangan or any other part including
15:01bandipora this is the track which is mostly being used by the terrorists in the recent times including in
15:08the kishtvar doda kutva everywhere we have seen this pattern uh particularly by the trf groups they
15:15not only have changed the communication devices into the ultrafones which are chinese made but also
15:21they are trying to avoid the human contact with the villagers with the nomads with the uh with their
15:28own sources and overground workers that is why to catch them or to neutralize them uh was getting
15:35difficult not only here in the phil gam but also even we have seen in the kishtvar and dora
15:40but stay with me for a moment let me bring in general tiny dylan and we'll continue this conversation
15:45uh general dylan how difficult would an operation like this be in that dachi gam forest area that
15:53starts not far from where your core headquarters was from the badami bark contornment that's where
15:59the the chinar core headquarters is how far from there were these terrorists hiding and how
16:04difficult is it to mount a military operation like the one that was mounted operation mahadev
16:09uh good evening and good evening to all of yours uh just to explain the terrain which exists in that
16:17area as you said badami bark contornment behind that there is a hillock and further behind that and in
16:24between the sirinagar sonama highway is this mahadev ridge and dachigam forest dachigam is a national
16:33park and it goes into the dachigam valley goes into mahadev ridge and if you walk along mahadev ridge
16:41which is a very densely populated ridge and go further east of tralbaul in the village lam and
16:49further on to mahadev ridge you can actually hit pahagam the baisaran valley without having to cross
16:55any major river or any major township or big villages you would come across small hamlets you
17:02would come across come across deras as they are called the small little living places for the nomads or
17:08gujjas and bakharwals and you can come into dachigam forest the as was being explained it's a very
17:15difficult terrain it's a very thickly vegetated jungle and i always say primary secondary and
17:22tertiary jungles and at times the undergrowth is eight to ten feet high and the big trees being
17:29anything up to hundred feet and beyond and the visibility at places interest visibility is down
17:35to two meters that means if a person walking ahead of you you miss him by two meters you just miss him
17:40you have to shout at him and in such a terrain when you are you know trailing a terrorist group
17:46of say about three people or whatever it is very difficult because you are not getting the line of
17:52sight the communication equipments in this type of terrain in this thick vegetation don't work and
17:59even the satellite links don't work properly mobiles don't work here so there's a lot of terrain analysis and
18:06terrain knowledge which you have to have there's a lot of reading of the previous movements in this area
18:12as also a lot of appreciation of where the terrorists can go which area has more number of
18:18ogws and sympathizers and it's all military appreciation so military appreciation team heads of the team which was
18:25trailing it okay that did it to the precision that these people were literally caught napping
18:30and the security forces hit the temporary hideout yeah whereas it is called because it's just a
18:37sheet of polythene on top and these people are resting and the two factors which came up in your
18:43discussion one is they were fatigued that means they were being chased and they were running or they
18:48were all always on the move for last few days secondly the point came up that he has lost weight
18:54he has lost weight not to change the look he has lost weight because for last three months
18:59the security forces were denying them the access to the villages and the russians there could only
19:05probably would have been very few places where they could have access food so naturally lack of food would
19:11have made sure that they lose weight but notwithstanding identification confirmation would bring out a lot of
19:18clarification sir i quickly have to dip into lok sabha where bjp vice president bijan panda jay panda
19:24is now speaking on terror organizing sir in 2006 two months after the mumbai train bombings
19:33the then prime minister met pakistani president musharaf on the sidelines of the nam summit in havana
19:41and again agreed to maintain the peace process so that so-called peace process was no peace process at
19:48all it was only peaceful for pakistan indians in large numbers were sacrificed india was attacked
19:57repeatedly and large numbers of indians were harmed and killed the worst of all in 2009 within eight months
20:09of the mumbai terror attack the then prime minister met his pakistani counterpart at sharm el
20:16sheikh in egypt and agreed to again continue the cooperation with pakistan this for a country that
20:24for 78 years has been attacking india ceaseless our approach in the past was only to cooperate only to
20:32talk not to retaliate not to retaliate not to teach them a lesson sir the worst part of this
20:39at sharm el sheikh was a reference to balochistan which can be interpreted as if india and pakistan are
20:47equated as if india does similar things to pakistan whereas the issues are entirely different
20:53there are no terror camps in india training terrorists and sending them to balochistan there
20:59is no equation at all there is no comparison at all and yet our government of the day had no
21:06compunction in granting such a hyphenation with pakistan sir this can go on and on there are many many
21:16different such examples and i will come to some of them sir one question has been raised as to
21:26whether there was pressure on india to conclude the hostilities there was absolutely no pressure on india
21:35this has been pointed out again and again sir any country can call and make suggestions anybody can do
21:44that we as members of parliament can call up our counterparts when they are in the midst of
21:48hostilities and we can give them suggestions that is not how the hostilities ended sir india has
21:55pointed out very very clearly that this is a bilateral issue and we have no intention of escalating we would
22:02stop hostilities if pakistan requested and until and unless pakistan directly requested india we did not
22:11stop the hostilities it had no relation no connection to any requests by anybody else until pakistan directly
22:19requested india and sir i asked my friends in the opposition this has not been contradicted by anyone
22:27has anyone contradicted india's assertion that we insisted that it had to be a pakistani request
22:35that we will respond to and pakistan finally came to its knees and requested and that is what we
22:42responded to now it is so whether it's rajnath singh defense minister or bjp vice president jay panda
22:50they're making it very clear there was no external pressure for a ceasefire india had a stated position
22:55india doesn't want to escalate let pakistan seek ceasefire we will have a ceasefire and the government
23:00saying it's a temporary pause if there's a terror attack pakistan will be targeted once again i want
23:05to once again uh come back to the baysaran operations and operation maha dev terrorists killed 26 innocent
23:14people 25 hindus asking them their names singling them out and killing them in at point blank range now
23:19three terrorists have been neutralized sandeep the fact that these terrorists have been killed their
23:25mobile phones will reveal a lot of information even about those who may have assisted them within our
23:32country absolutely gaurav this is an intelligence windfall for the security forces and uh you know
23:38it's a three month long manhunt that's ended today with these bodies being recovered and of course we're
23:44looking at all of the equipment that they were carrying they were uh i can see a lot of rifle grenades over
23:49there gp-25 rifle grenades uh point to them being very heavily armed two ak-47s were recovered one m4
23:56rifle is recovered there are talks of them using the chinese uh huawei satellite phones linked to the
24:02baidu constellation which is how they were possibly navigating and communicating with their handlers and
24:08also gaurav there is also that very uh damning indictment by the uh eyewitnesses to the baysaran massacre
24:15where they said that these terrorists were wearing body cams and they were actually uh videoing all
24:21of the uh you know victims as they were gunning them down possibly to use as some kind of propaganda
24:27material so it's very important we recover all of this and know the identity of all the people who
24:32help them not just in india but also across the border i see a lot of plastic bags over there possibly
24:39they were carrying their food uh in it and it would have come from local uh sources but uh as general
24:45dylan was pointing uh to go of the fact is that this was a very specialized unit and we've been hearing
24:50about this unit uh for more than a year now that they were specially trained they were trained like
24:55what the americans call the lrp concept the long range reconnaissance patrol concept which
25:02goes deep into the adversary's territory conducts operation independent of ground resources there
25:09they don't have to contact too many people for reasons of operations security they carry out
25:13the mission and then they remain undercover this is exactly the model that these uh three terrorists
25:18seem to have followed which is to remain under deep cover in the forests as we're seeing right now and
25:25one thing gaurav that i noticed as these images of flashing is that uh that the way that the tent was
25:31tied you know the the tarpaulin was tied i remember seeing it somewhere and i went to my copy of the
25:37u.s army jungle warfare field manual fm 90-5 that is exactly the way jungle warriors tie their uh tents
25:45when they're uh you know in the in the forest whether it's a tent or a mosquito net this is how
25:49they tie it just tells you the kind of level of training and motivation that these people had been
25:54equipped with this was not any ordinary bunch of terrorists gaurav this is a very very specialized uh
26:00special forces trained uh hit squad exactly like the ones that we saw in 2611 trained by the
26:06ssg navy and in this case i'm sure you would find evidence of them being trained by the
26:11park ssg as well gaurav hopefully we shall have those information in general dylan before i come to you
26:15uh meer farid joins us from srinagar with the latest and meer you have several updates do we have
26:21either a confirmation about the identity of the other two point one and point two uh any information
26:28whether their mobile phones were recovered satellite phones recovered a body camera did they have their
26:34body cams or any other images uh of course that takes a long time uh to come in but that would be
26:40a treasure trove of information as far as investigators are concerned me
26:49yes gaurav any uh material uh equipment or any kind of stuff that they get from the these hideouts is
26:58always uh very important for the security agencies uh one obviously for intelligence purposes and
27:04also the modus operandi they get to know how they're operating uh of late and in this case uh
27:10this is the dachigam in fact i'm outside the dachigam forest area the sanctuary and from the last
27:15at least 15 20 days it was made out of bounds for civilians so quite clearly something was cooking
27:21and the army had taken it over so that tells you that they were after them there was precise until
27:26but this is a very complicated area this is a dense jungle forest area thick foliage a lot of uh
27:33space to hide and to await the security forces and that's why they have been using this uh uh
27:39strategically also this is a center point you can access many areas of south kashmir simply following
27:45the forest route and one of the commanders of lashkar suleiman uh 4g also as he's known because he was one
27:52of uh the retired personnel so special services group he was not only involved in this attack but
27:57they say that previously at least three such three three more such attacks uh he was the mastermind
28:02now again officially nothing from the army from the police they're tight-lipped uh no confirmation or
28:08connection with the pehelgam angle but our sources say that there's 80 percent probability
28:12that at least one of the three is directly linked with pehelgam attack and uh right now though all the
28:17evidence and all uh the uh the eyewitness accounts uh of the pehelgam attack uh the the people who were
28:23arrested by the nia they may also identify them and they are they're trying to be sure shot uh before
28:29announcing it but as of now stay with me let me bring in general dylan once again into this conversation
28:34general dylan uh the mobile cameras the body cams the ammunition the weapons that they were carrying and
28:41other associated war like stores what kind of information will the security forces be able to
28:47glean from what the terrorists had and how can that help in future operations uh whatever the type of
28:56information which is available as of now indicates uh you know this is a what you call that battle
29:02indicators they indicate what type of a group it was they had specialized weapons they had specialized
29:09equipment including uh including uh as uh community members telling that satellite phone
29:15they had m4 rifle and they had a lot of material to survive in jungle so all these indicate they were
29:23trained subgroup they were trained group and they were a special group when i say special group
29:29the normal terrorists to roam around the jungles of kashmir depend on the local villages or local
29:35you know deras for their day-to-day uh food and only the people who you don't want to be seen by any
29:44civilian so that they don't get the information leaked are the people who are given this type of special
29:50equipment and now that they were killed while they were resting so they won't have had time to erase
29:56a lot of things okay or you know do away with a lot of documents or technical uh uh information which
30:02will be found on the gadgets so the security forces security agencies will analyze all those things
30:08they are analyzed at local level and then at a very very high level in delhi by the very sophisticated
30:15first forensics uh teams so the lot of information will come out of it which will also be used for
30:22future operations as also to prove their connection with whatever operations they have carried out so
30:28far or whatever attacks they have carried out so far so as you use the word treasure trove yes it
30:33will be a big treasure trove if we are able to get those gadgets and those gadgets as per my
30:40experience as of now the way that we encounter has happened i don't think they would have got time
30:45to erase anything so it's a big success and let's wait and watch and i think more and more will emerge from this
30:52yeah kamal was reporting that these uh terrorists were apparently uh sleeping or resting uh when
30:59virtually kamal a double tap uh on the forehead of one of the terrorists from a sniper uh at least the
31:05bullet seems to indicate a part of his head is completely blown off uh the manner in which they
31:10killed the innocent hindus at pehelgaam uh you know it just it just goes on to show there is justice but
31:17kamal there still is clear and present danger mr vaid former dgp jammu in kashmir was indicating
31:23that if this is a group a bigger group three terrorists have been neutralized if there were
31:27five or seven the other four could well try and target the amarnath yatra
31:37well that's always the case and that is why no chance is always taken as far as amarnath yatra is
31:41concerned whether it's rfids whether it's deployment of security forces multi-tiered security is deployed
31:48uh but let's look at it uh there are at least 150 terrorists which are still currently active most
31:52of them foreign terrorists there's a little local support really coming in uh so they would still
31:57be in the hills uh there are various groups uh some of them could be splinter groups but remember
32:02they're all trained differently this particular set of pehelgaam attackers as delin sir was saying
32:08are the ssg trained so they have a para-commando training and that is why they can not only move in
32:14stealth but they can survive in the jungles for so long uh they're also carrying not just equipment
32:19but also uh food that they could cook there and that is what is going to be a wealth of information
32:25once the full recovery is done because it's not just harm and ammunition it's also the uh survival
32:30tool kit uh which they really had uh this is the sort and remember when these terrorists really cross
32:35over uh they know that this is going to be a limited time for them uh because they don't have much
32:41of a lifespan later on because they eventually either run out of energy or food or support
32:47system so that is when and even in this particular case as you were mentioning very clearly uh there
32:52was information coming in from the nomads there was a tech information uh so they were being zeroed in
32:57but they were getting lucky elsewhere the luck simply ran out and it was time for four paras to
33:03actually move in and they moved in with stealth uh they spotted this particular tarpaulin from this day
33:08way distant and this is they also actually zeroed in that they were carrying weapons that is when
33:14they actually opened fire and if you see uh they have not actually uh there are no uh firing marks
33:20on trees or other areas or shrubs so that means it's been a precision attack giving very little time
33:26for these particular terrorists to really retaliate or attack or even flee and they were killed and
33:32obviously by the time the police team reaches and we've been told uh the jammu kashmir police team is on
33:37its way to the terror site and this is where they will eventually go and give that final confirmation
33:43because remember photographs are one part of evidence one is the physical identification and if
33:48the nia needs to be contacted for those two uh people who had actually given them some sort of food or
33:55logistical support if they need to be called in that will also be done so this is going to take some
34:00time but eventually because they're saying they have looked through whereas photographs and they have
34:05uh come very close to the resemblance and that is why the suspicion is these are the pahalgam attackers
34:10but remember a final physical verification will be done need be a double verification will be done
34:16before they actually make it public okay but this does speak volumes about the training tactics and
34:22operations of our special forces and uh sandeep security forces operating as a team that terrorists were
34:30caught napping and literally and cut down absolutely gaurav i mean this is a surgical strike no two
34:38ways about it and as kamaljeet was saying there's no sign of any bullets on trees or you know that
34:43canopy is also intact if you look at it if this had been a classic firefight i mean there would have been
34:48shreds of uh you know vegetation that canopy would not have been in the condition that it was and as you
34:53pointed out gaurav there's a double tap on one of the terrorist heads that's musa and this is possibly he was
34:59taken out from a long range from a by a sniper rifle and that those that kind of expertise only exists
35:05with the special forces the paras sf of the indian army and uh it's very clear that they didn't want to
35:11take any chances uh and they closed in on these uh terrorists while they were uh in their hideout and
35:17that's when they struck and they struck with precision with lethality while these people were completely
35:22off guard and as you said gaurav justice uh for pahalgam seems to have been served and as
35:28raksha mantri rajnath singh said in parliament that you deal with the enemy the way the enemy
35:36deals with you no mercy when it comes to dealing with radical islamist terrorists me keep tracking
35:41that story i will come back to you for more in a while from now we are told security forces will
35:47give out more details moment there's a confirmation general dylan kamal sandeep many thanks for joining me
35:53pakistan pleaded for a ceasefire after indian air force struck multiple pakistani air bases radars
36:01and indian missiles successfully targeted pakistan details given out by raksha mantri rajnath singh
36:09on india's operation sindoor he also gave details about how he claimed previous governments were soft on
36:18pakistan state-sponsored radical islamist terror and that emboldened terrorists rajnath singh highlighted
36:24how terrorists sought to know the religion of the tourists and then kill them at point blank range he
36:30highlighted how india initially hit only terror hubs in pakistan and told pakistan that these were
36:37non-escalatory strikes india did want to escalate but when pakistan attempted to target military
36:42installations india hit back and hard gorov gogo he responded to rajnath singh saying when you say
36:48you did not want to take territory why not this was the best time to take back pakistan occupied kashmir
36:55why didn't you why did you target only terrorists and not the pakistani military initially he referred
37:02to statements made by chief of defense staff at the shangrila dialogue saying why is it that information was
37:08given out overseas first and not india first listen in
37:12the
37:39If there is a way to the Pakistan, if there is a way to the Pakistan, if there is a way to the Pakistan, I want to make a statement for this operation.
