Multiple reputable sources confirm that on 23 April 2025, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, sealed border crossings, expelled Pakistani military advisers, and froze Pakistan-linked bank accounts in response to the Pahalgam attack. The sources agree on the suspension of the treaty and the broader retaliatory measures, though specific details like the expulsion of military advisers and bank account freezes are corroborated by the encyclopedia context and news reports. The evidence is consistent across independent outlets, supporting the claim.

On 23 April 2025, the Government of India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan, citing national security concerns and alleged Pakistani support for militancy following the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 tourists. India also sealed border crossings, expelled Pakistani military advisers, and froze Pakistan-linked bank accounts. Pakistan denied involvement and retaliated by suspending the Simla Agreement, restricting trade, and closing airspace. The crisis escalated into a brief military conflict in May 2025 before a ceasefire was reached.
