| Mobile phones of 15 OGWs found active in Baisaran Valley during massacre of tourists | | Pahalgam Attack | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 27: In a major breakthrough following the barbaric Pahalgam terror attack, security agencies have identified 15 local Over Ground Workers (OGWs) whose mobile phones were found active in the Baisaran Valley at the time of the assault.
Sources revealed that these individuals are suspected of providing critical logistical support to the terrorists who carried out the gruesome attack on tourists.
According to sources, electronic surveillance data played a pivotal role in establishing the involvement of these OGWs. The tracking of mobile signals and communication patterns indicated that the local collaborators were in close proximity to the attack site during the carnage, directly aiding the terrorists in navigating the difficult terrain of Baisaran Valley.
Preliminary investigations suggest that a group comprising local terrorists and at least two Pakistani militants orchestrated the brutal assault, which claimed the lives of innocent tourists.
