The FIR filed after the Pahalgam attack has raised serious questions about the Indian government's version of events. Security forces say the quick filing and content of the FIR suggest the incident may have been staged.

India's army chief will review security arrangements on Friday and visit the site of a deadly attack on tourists in Indian Kashmir earlier this week, an incident that has led to a fresh crisis with long-time rival and neighbour Pakistan.

At least 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed and dozens injured when terrorists opened fire in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22.
