J&K chargesheets 65 over decades-long illegal stay; 15 are dead

Jammu and Kashmir's Crime Branch has filed chargesheets against 65 people, many of them Pakistani nationals accused of overstaying their visas; 15 of them are dead. Officials said the accused entered India on valid Pakistani passports and lived in Jammu, Poonch, Rajouri and Kathua for four to five decades, many marrying locals. The action is part of a crackdown after the 2025 Pahalgam attack.
