The Lover Boy of Bahawalpur: How the Pulwama Case was Cracked is a non-fiction book authored by Rahul Pandita and released in 2021. This work recounts how a National Investigation Agency (NIA) team investigated the 2019 Pulwama attack. The term "lover boy" in the title refers to Mohammad Umar Farooq, son of Ibrahim Athar—one of the five terrorists who hijacked Indian Airlines Flight IC 814 in December 1999. Farooq was also the nephew of Masood Azhar, founder of Jaish. He was a major suspect in the case and died during a confrontation a month after the attack. At the time, Rakesh Balwal, who led the NIA's Jammu and Kashmir operations, was assigned to lead the investigation into the Pulwama incident.
