Pahalgam Attackers Hunted: Police Launch Massive Manhunt with ₹20 Lakh Reward
The Jammu and Kashmir Police have launched a high-intensity operation to track down the Pahalgam attackers, who carried out a recent terror strike in the region. In a bold move, the police have announced a reward of ₹20 lakh for anyone who provides credible information leading to their arrest.
Why This Matters
For locals and tourists alike, the attack wasn’t just an isolated incident—it hit at the heart of Kashmir’s fragile peace. Pahalgam isn’t just a tourist spot; it’s a symbol of calm that J&K has worked hard to preserve. The attackers knew what they were targeting: public morale and the economy.
But here’s the message being sent in return: Terror won’t win. Not this time.

All Eyes on Lashkar-e-Taiba
Investigations have pointed toward Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) as the main suspect behind the Pahalgam attack. These groups thrive on fear and chaos, but now they face pressure from all sides. J&K Police, in collaboration with central intelligence agencies, are connecting dots, mapping networks, and closing in.
Names of suspects have already been made public—a move rarely done unless confidence in the investigation is high.
Police Go Full Throttle: Search Ops + Surveillance
Security forces have intensified search operations across Anantnag and the surrounding areas. The hunt includes:
- Drone-assisted surveillance in dense forest zones
- Deployment of additional security forces in tourist corridors
- Cross-verification of suspicious activity with local intel
- Use of CCTV footage and mobile data analytics
According to police officials, this isn’t just about reactive policing—it’s a message of zero tolerance.

Public Support: Your Intel Could Be Worth ₹20 Lakh
A ₹20 lakh reward is no small number. It shows just how determined the police are to shut this case fast and clean. More importantly, it’s a call to the community. Every tip—no matter how small—could lead to a breakthrough.
And the police have been clear: all informants will remain anonymous. If needed, protection will be provided. Safety won’t be compromised.

Tourism Takes a Hit, But Security Ramps Up
Tourism in Pahalgam, known for its lush valleys and Amarnath Yatra base, took a hit after the attack. Bookings dipped, and some visitors canceled trips.
To counter that, the J&K government is tightening tourist safety protocols:
- Regular patrolling on key routes
- Baggage scans at entry points
- Emergency helplines on alert
- Coordination with local hoteliers for intel
As one hotel owner said, “We’ve seen dark days before. We’ll see light again.”
Unity Against Fear
What makes this different from past attacks? The speed, the coordination, and the public resolve. Kashmiris know the value of peace—they’ve paid for it in blood. And now, they’re unwilling to let terror define their future.
If you know anything about the Pahalgam attackers, contact the Anantnag Police. Visit your nearest police station or call the helpline. You could be the reason a family sleeps peacefully again.
Final Word: This Is About More Than Justice
The Pahalgam attack isn’t just about catching a few terrorists. It’s about making a statement. That Kashmir will not be silenced. That the mountains may echo with gunfire today—but tomorrow, they’ll echo with laughter again.
