The Indian home minister's account of forces killing who he said were three Pakistanis involved in the April attack on Hindu tourists in the Jammu and Kashmir federal territory was "replete with fabrications",

India’s home minister Amit Shah said the three men were Pakistani nationals and were killed in a joint operation by the military, paramilitary and police.

The government has faced criticism for being slow to catch the shooters who slaughtered 26 civilians and started clashes between India and Pakistan.
