The accused is also reported to have told his interrogators that on the directions from commanders, he delivered the consignment to the Law student as the outfit was planning to attack some vital places in Jammu city. He said that several militants were already present in the city of temples waiting for an opportunate time to strike in a big way. He also told the police the names of some more persons who are active in the militancy. The arrested militant further confessed that HM cadre had engaged many girls for delivering consignments to the ultras on money consideration as their (girls) credentials were undoubted and they easily manage to deliver the consignment to any part of the state. He also told police that many militants are hiding in many towns and cities of the state, who have specially assigned the task of causing attacks at public places. Sources further added that police is nearer to nab a commander and his arrest will be possible soon. Sources said three teams have already been rushed to Srinagar, Surankote, Udhampur and some other parts of the state for more arrests and today a special team was also dispatched outside the state to get more information.
Meanwhile, Nahida during today’s interrogation did not reveal any new thing to the police but agreed that he was in touch some militants who were active in Poonch district alone. However, she is reported to have given some clues about the militant hideouts in the city where the ultras have dumped arms and ammunition. On her disclosure the police took her to one of the hideouts and conducted a raid but nothing was recovered from the place. In the meantime the authorities have started collecting information about the students of the twin border districts of Poonch and Rajouri presently studying in Jammu to ascertain their involvement in the militancy as reports reveal that militants have lured several girls in the trade. .
