Why it matters
This legal action highlights ongoing efforts by Indian authorities to prosecute cross-border terrorism and dismantle militant networks operating in the Kashmir region.
A special court of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Jammu has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Saifullah, linked to several major attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, including the 2025 Pahalgam attack.
“Keeping in view the fact that the accused person is at large and the investigating agency has not been able to procure his attendance in the ordinary manner. As such a general warrant of arrest (non-bailable) is issued against Saifullah,” reads the order.
The NIA has mentioned the name of Saifullah, a resident of Changa Manga village in Pakistan’s Kasur, in the case as one “operating from Pakistan and providing weapons, funds and directions to terrorists in the Kashmir Valley”.
