An official said that 416 packets of explosives are found and each weighed 125 gms. A suicide bomber rammed into a CRPF convoy last year in Pulwama that killed 40 Indian soldiers. This is named as one of the deadliest attacks on the Indian Army in the valley of Kashmir over the years. Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) took the responsibility of the attack. Indian war flights attacked the training camp of JeM in Pakistan. NIA filed a charge sheet about the case last month. NIA named Masood Azhar, his brother Abdul Rauf Asghar and others in the charge sheet.
