Event Summary

On August 20, 2026, a special India — National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Jammu rejected the bail plea of Insha Jan, an accused in the 2019 Pulwama terror attack that killed 40 India — Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel. Special Judge Lallu Lal ruled that sufficient material existed to presume the accusations against her were prima facie true, and that the statutory bar under Section 43-D(5) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) prevented her release. Jan, arrested in March 2020 along with her father Peer Tariq Ahmad Shah, faces charges under the Ranbir Penal Code, UAPA, Arms Act, and Explosive Substances Act. The NIA alleged she provided shelter, food, and logistics to Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists, including Umar and Kamran Ali, and that a video of suicide bomber 2019 Pulwama attack was recorded at her house. The court rejected arguments of prolonged incarceration and health issues, but directed jail authorities to provide medical care. The ruling does not affect the merits of the main trial.
