26 innocent people lost their lives in the horrific terrorist attack on April 22 in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. There was anger over this attack all over the country and the government had indicated immediate action. Now, within four months, India gave an accurate and strategic reply to that attack on Monday (July 28, 2025), a special operation Operation Mahadev. In this operation, three terrorists, including the terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack, were killed.
The entire timeline of Operation Mahadev
Security agencies were monitoring the activities of the terrorists for the last few days. At 2 pm, the terrorists used the T82 ultrasat communication device, which is a very safe and encrypted system. With the help of information received from this device, the security forces got the exact location of the terrorists in the forests of Dachigam.
- At 8 am, a drone was flown to get the first view of the terrorists. Then at 9:30 in the morning, the army counter-engineers ‘Rashtriya Rifles’ (RR) posted in Jammu and Kashmir reached the Mahadev hill of the Para Special Forces.
- At 10 am, Para Commandos first saw the terrorists directly and confirmed them. The terrorists were identified in just 30 minutes, which cleared the way to pursue the operation.
- At 11 am, as soon as the identity of the terrorists was completed, the security forces started firing and the three terrorists were shot in the first round.
- At 11:45 am, one of them started trying to escape, but he was also killed on the spot.
- Exactly 45 minutes later, i.e. at 12:30 pm, a search operation was conducted in a radius of 2 km around the encounter site to confirm the presence of any other terrorist or danger.
- At 12:45 pm, the three killed terrorists were identified and their photographs were taken.
