NIA seeks China help to trace GoPro linked to Pahalgam attack

A Special NIA Court in Jammu has issued a Letter Rogatory to the competent judicial authority in China for assistance in tracing the supply chain and end-user details of a mobile phone linked to the probe into last year’s Pahalgam terror attack. The Special Judge passed the order in response to an application filed by the Deputy Inspector General, National Investigation Agency (NIA), Sandeep Choudhary, under Section 112 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). NIA charges four LeT-TRF terrorists in the Pahalgam attack, which struck south Kashmir’s Pahalgam hill resort on April 22, killing 25 tourists and a local guide. In the course of the investigation, authorities seized various material objects and electronic devices connected with the conspiracy and execution of the attack, including a GoPro Hero 12 Black Camera with serial No. C3501325471706 that is considered crucial for establishing pre-attack reconnaissance, movement, and operational preparation of the terrorist module involved in the Pahalgam incident. A lawful notice under the BNSS was issued to the camera’s manufacturer to obtain details about the supply chain and the device’s activation history.
