Pulwama Terror Attack Case: Special NIA Court Rejects Insha Jan’s Bail Plea Under UAPA
Jammu, August 22, 2026: A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Jammu has rejected the bail plea of Insha Jan alias Insha Tariq, who is facing trial in connection with the 2019 Pulwama suicide attack that killed 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel. The court said there was sufficient material on record to prima facie believe that the accusations against her were true.…
A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Jammu has denied bail to Insha Jan, a suspect in the 2019 Pulwama terrorist attack that killed 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel. The court ruled that there was sufficient evidence to suspect her involvement in the offense. Jan, who was arrested in 2020, was charged in 2022 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), Ranbir Penal Code, Arms Act, and Explosive Substances Act.
The court held that Section 43-D(5) of the UAPA applies to her case, which restricts bail if the court finds prima facie evidence supporting the prosecution's case. Jan's defence argued that her prolonged imprisonment, the delayed trial, and her health condition warranted her release, but the court rejected these claims, considering the seriousness of the allegations and the risk of potential influence on key witnesses.
