Ministry of Home Affairs has handed over the probe into the June 9 terror attack of Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi𓄧 to the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The terrorist attack on a bus in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi killed nine people, including three women and a child, and injured 33 others after the vehicle fell into a gorge following an ambush.
🎃The National Investigation Agency took over the Reasi terror attack case from Jammu and Kashmir Police on June 15 and filed a fresh First Information Report following Ministry of Home Affairs orders.
💖The terrorists opened fire at the bus at around 6 pm when it was en route from Shiv Khori temple to Mata Vaishno Devi shrine at Katra near Teryath village in the Poni area.
🍸The bus, a 53-seater, veered off the road and plunged into the deep gorge following the gunfire.
🌠Pakistan-backed The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the terror attack. In a message, the TRF warned of more such attacks on "tourists and non-locals" and called the Reasi attack only the "beginning of a renewed start", according to reports.
After the Reasi attack, there have been three more terror strikes♛ in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua and Doda, in which a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan was killed, a civilian was injured and at least seven security personnel were injured.
💧Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday chaired a high-level meeting to review security situations in Jammu and Kashmir.
🌳National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha, Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla, and Director of Intelligence Bureau Tapan Deka were also part of the meeting.
