Field evidence that the recently active dextral-reverse Raikot fault, not the Main Mantle Thrust (MMT), forms the western boundary of the Nanga Parbat-Haramosh Massif (NPHM), truncating the MMT. The Raikot fault separates Kohistan-arc rocks (Kohistan Sequence) from high-grade Proterozoic metasediments (Nanga Parbat Group) and orthogneisses of the Indian craton, and accommodated ~15-25 km of late Cenozoic uplift; interpreted as a terminal tear fault on the Main Central Thrust following a major crustal (possibly pre-collision Indian-plate) structure.

- Geological significance: Madin et al. (1989): the western boundary of the Nanga Parbat–Haramosh Massif is not the Main Mantle Thrust but the younger, recently active dextral-reverse Raikot fault, which truncates the MMT and separates the Kohistan-arc rocks (Kohistan Sequence) from the high-grade Proterozoic metasediments (the 'Nanga Parbat Group') and orthogneisses of the Indian craton. The Raikot fault (mylonite zones plus discrete faults) accommodated ~15–25 km of late Cenozoic crustal uplift, appears to involve the Moho, and is interpreted as a terminal tear fault on the Main Central Thrust following a major — possibly pre-collision Indian-plate — crustal structure.
