The security forces carried out a house-to-house search after the Pahalgam terror attack to track Hashim Musa/Suleiman Shah. However, he escaped. 

The Indian Air Force launched Operation Sindoor and targeted the terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Islamabad flatly refused any involvement in the attack. Now, with the identity and death of its former commando, the Pakistan Army stands exposed. Training centres of LeT, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Hizbul Mujahideen, and other affiliated networks were destroyed in the attack.
