The images were extracted from CCTV footage captured within the camp, providing critical leads in the investigation.
Details of the Attack
The assault, which took place on Sunday evening, saw the terrorists enter the camp and open fire, leading to the death of seven individuals, including six non-local workers and a local doctor. Four others sustained injuries in what authorities described as a “dastardly” attack targeting unarmed civilians.
Investigative Measures
Over 40 individuals have been questioned in the aftermath of the attack, with local police diligently working to piece together the events leading up to the tragedy. An NIA team, led by a senior officer, inspected the site, gathering potential evidence to deepen understanding of the incident and identify the perpetrators.
Economic Impact and Security Concerns
The targeted workers were part of a team constructing a pivotal tunnel between Z-Morh and Sonamarg, aimed at transforming the Srinagar-Sonamarg road into an all-weather route.
