Claim

Lashkar-e-Taiba is the organisation that carried out the Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people were killed after being asked their religion.

“लश्कर तबा वही संगठन है जिसने पहलगाम आतंकी हमले को अंजाम दिया। जहां धर्म पूछकर 26 लोगों को मारा गया।”

Rationale

All three factual elements hold: 26 people were killed on 22 April 2025, survivors and investigators confirm victims were segregated and shot after being asked their religion, and India's NIA chargesheet attributes the attack to Lashkar-e-Taiba (chief Hafiz Saeed named), with the on-ground perpetrator TRF being an officially designated front/proxy of LeT. The only minor imprecision is that the public claim of responsibility came from TRF rather than LeT directly, but the official Indian and US position treats TRF as LeT, so attributing the attack to Lashkar-e-Taiba is substantially correct.
