The National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed a 13,500 page chargesheet in the 2019 Pulwama terror attack, where 40 Indian soldiers were martyred, reported news agency ANI. In its massive chargesheet, the security agency has named Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar and a 18 other persons, reported PTI. 

“Besides JeM chief Masood Azhar, those chargesheeted in 2019 Pulwama case include 7 terrorists who were killed, 7 arrested, 4 absconders,” the NIA said in a statement.

The agency also said that the ‘almost blind terror case’ that was solved in 18 months had revealed a conspiracy hatched in Pakistan by JeM to carry out the attack.

Earlier in July, the NIA had arrested a Pulwama resident for allegedly providing logistical support to terrorists involved in planning the attack on a CRPF convoy that left 40 jawans dead in the south Kashmir district in February last year, reported PTI.

The sawmill owner was produced before a designated court in Jammu, which sent him to National Investigation Agency custody for 10 days.
