Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 25: The truck in which four Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorists were killed near Ban Toll Plaza on Jammu-Srinagar National Highway at Nagrota, may have crossed the Lakhanpur Toll Plaza in the first week of November.
Sources said the intelligence agencies are probing if the truck that was used by the terrorists, had crossed Lakhanpur, which is seen as the gateway to Jammu and Kashmir. Sources said the intelligence agencies have inputs that the track was spotted at Lakhanpur “somewhere around the commencement of the month of November.” It was reliably learnt that the CCTV footage of the toll plaza was being examined by a special team of Jammu and Kashmir Police and the intelligence agencies.
Sources said joint teams from Jammu Police and their counterparts from Kathua are probing the matter in particular.
Sources said the police are probing about as to what the truck was doing in the area that time.
While the truck is believed to be from Kashmir, its driver had managed to flee from the encounter spot in Nagrota on the fateful night. Sources said the forces are trying to ascertain the ulterior motives that could be behind the movement of the truck at the gateway to Jammu and that if it was involved in terror activities that time as well.
Pertinently on November 19, in a major breakthrough, the security forces foiled Pakistan's sinister plot of carrying out Pulwama type spectacular attack of high magnitude during the ongoing District Development Council (DDC) elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
Following concrete intelligence inputs about the infiltration of terrorists, the Special Operation Group of JKP stopped the truck for checking at Ban Toll Plaza, Nagrota.
While security force personnel were heading towards truck for checking, terrorists who were hiding inside opened indiscriminate fire which was effectively retaliated by joint teams of SOG and CRPF. In the ensuing firefight, four terrorists were killed. |
