India’s Home Minister Amit Shah told that country’s parliament on July 28 that three men who had participated in the killing of 26 Indian tourists in Kashmir, had been killed by Indian military forces near the disputed region’s main city Srinagar. According to BBC, Shah claimed the attackers were Pakistani nationals, a charge Islamabad denies. He told the MPs that they had confirmed the identities and responsibility for the April massacre through forensic and ballistic tests. “The cartridges we had collected were also from an M9 and AK-47. We sent the rifles last night to the central forensics lab in Chandigarh where they fired them, and these were then compared and it was confirmed these were the three rifles used in the attack to kill our innocent citizens,” Shah said.
“I have the ballistic report,” he told the house, holding up some papers. “Six scientists have cross verified it. They told me this morning on a video call these are 100% the bullets that they had fired.”
