While recalling the incident, Avinash Sharma told Early Times that said that on the incident day, the associate of militants came towards me to seek my help as he was on job at that time at Nagrota on National Highway. “Initially I was unaware of his identity, his condition was by bad and he sought my help and I took him to the room and offered him water and tea. During conversation, I came to know that he must be a militant. His activities were suspicious as he was trying to delete some pictures from his mobile and when I enquired about it he escaped replies,” Avinash Sharma said.
He further said that he told his friend about it and asked him to inform the police and meanwhile he continued to engage the associate of militant in conversations. “Soon a team of police came along with police officer.s and arrested the alleged associate and took him to police station,” he said.
Although police officers lauded my courage and took my detail but till date no representative from government has come to meet me, which has disheartened me, he said.
