Let us tell you that 20-year-old Adil Ahmed Dar was the suicide bomber of this attack, whose house was 10 kilometers away from the spot.

On that day, the CRPF convoy was going from Jammu Transit Camp to Anantnag, but on the way, it was made a victim around 4 o'clock in the morning.

Investigation revealed that this attack was planned by the masters of Jaish-e-Mohammed sitting in Pakistan, but the idea of ​​targeting the CRPF bus was that of a shopkeeper in Kakapora.

NIA has filed a 13500 page chargesheet in the case of Pulwama terror attack, in which the name of this shopkeeper has been mentioned as Shakir Bashir Magre.

A total of 19 accused have been named in the chargesheet, out of which 6 have been killed.

The names of Jaish chief Maulana Masood Azhar and his two brothers - Rauf Asghar Masood and Maulana Ammar Ali are also at the top of the 13 surviving accused.

The US agency FBI also helped in gathering evidence of this attack.
