Multiple reports cite security agencies as saying a suspected aide connected to Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Naveed Bhat is likely involved in killings of migrants in Jammu and Kashmir. According to the agencies, Bhat’s associate, identified in one report as Waris Shah, is believed to have provided logistical support and performed reconnaissance for the attacks. The reporting indicates that investigators are linking the alleged role to planning and execution support rather than direct firing, based on the agencies’ assessments. The accounts also frame the claims as part of an ongoing security probe into the circumstances around the migrant killings, with authorities pursuing evidence and further leads. While the reports describe the suspects and their alleged functions in broad terms—logistics and recce—the specific details of the attacks, the number of victims, and the timing are not included in the provided excerpts. The information is presented as security agencies’ likely findings rather than judicially established facts.
