Pahalgam massacre could have been avoided if two Kashmiri locals had alerted authorities in time

Two Kashmiri locals, Parvaiz Ahmad and Bashir Ahmad Jothad, have been charged for allegedly sheltering Pakistani terrorists before the deadly Pahalgam attack on April 22, 2025. They reportedly received 3,000 for their assistance and failed to alert authorities despite spotting the attackers hours before the massacre that claimed 26 lives.
