Unraveling the Mystery in Cuttack: NIA Grills Bhola Family
In a chilling Aftermath of the Pahalgam Terror Attack in Jammu & Kashmir, a local family found themselves at the center of the investigation. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) swooped into Cuttack to interrogate the Bhola family, whose brush with danger raised eyebrows and curiosity.
Word on the street has it that the NIA quizzed Ranjit Bhola, resident of Cuttack, along with his spouse, son, and daughter-in-law. Their presence near Baisaran Valley around the time of the devastating attack put them under the watchful eye of the investigators.
The Bhola family had embarked on a blissful sightseeing trip to Kashmir, making Baisaran their stopover. As they were capturing moments of joy in photographs and videos, an ear-piercing burst of gunfire erupted, sending shockwaves through the picturesque valley. Tourists scampered to escape the chaos, seeking refuge from the hail of bullets.
After the dust settled, a three-man team from the NIA sat down with the Bhola family upon their return to Cuttack. The wife of Ranjit bore the brunt of the attack, sustaining multiple injuries in the horrific incident. Sources have hinted that the family shared vital information about four suspected terrorists they claimed to have witnessed during the assault.
The NIA reportedly displayed photo evidence of the suspected assailants to the Bhola family, hoping for any identification or leads that might help unmask the attackers or trace their moves before the bloodshed. The family allegedly witnessed three individuals being gunned down during the rampage.
The connection of the citizens of Odisha to such a high-profile horror has shone a national spotlight on Cuttack. Local law enforcement and central agencies are said to be working hand-in-hand as the NIA delves deeper into the investigation.
Despite the Bhola family's proximity to the tragedy and their potential role as vital eyewitnesses, the specifics of their involvement—or the details they might have provided—remain a closely guarded secret. The NIA's pursuit of any captured footage or photographs highlights the agency's determination to identify the attackers and bring them to justice.
