Security forces and intelligence agencies immediately started their investigation right after the assault took place. The law enforcement team gathered information from eyewitnesses and local people to create the sketch of the two suspected individuals. Security forces deduce that the terrorists belong to Pakistani terrorist groups, which potentially maintain ties with the active terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
Security forces issued the sketches based on witness testimony describing the attackers as they ran away from the location after the incident. The purpose of releasing sketches involves assisting citizens in detecting possible terrorists before their next targeted violence.
The officials confirmed that the terrorists came with advanced skills and remained hidden in the region for many months before the assault. Every existing tool and available intelligence information is used by agencies in their search for the perpetrators.
Government And Security Agencies’ Response
The Indian government, along with security agencies, has shown strong concern about this recent attack. The authorities conducted urgent high-level conferences after the terror attack.

The Union Home Minister received briefings about the current state of affairs. The government promised to make every possible attempt to locate the terrorists before pursuing legal action. The police authorities pledged complete backing to the victims’ families.
Additional checkpoints are currently established throughout the surrounding areas by police authorities. Local residents need to maintain alertness while reporting any unfamiliar activities. Security forces based in high-risk locations are deployed to stop new attacks from occurring.
