| Terrorists using ‘hi-tech call centre’ as hideout; agencies were clueless | | A big security, intelligence lapse, admits IGP Kashmir | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 16: Terrorists were using a ‘hi-tech call centre’ in the posh locality of Srinagar as their hideout but security agencies were unaware.
Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kashmir, Vijay Kumar admitted that it was big security and intelligence lapse.
Terrorist outfits were operating this hideout in the guise of a ‘call centre’ where some employees were also working.
Terrorists had set up a hideout on the highway through which convoys of security forces pass daily.
Terrorists have set up a hideout at Hyderpora, on the highway bypass in Srinagar, exactly where terrorists in an ambush had martyred 8 soldiers of the Indian Army on 24 June 2013 on the eve of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Srinagar.
IGP said that building owner Altaf Dar had rented out three rooms on the top floor to Muddasar, who operated an unauthorized call centre from two rooms and gave one room to terrorists for hiding.
“In the guise of a call centre, Muddasar was running a terror module", he said and revealed that Muddasar used to bring terrorists from South Kashmir to operate in Srinagar. “Terrorists involved in carrying terror attacks were provided shelter in the call centre”, he said.
The IGP further said that terrorists involved in attacking a cop in Srinagar on Sunday were provided shelter in the same call centre. "After Sunday's incident, Muddasar used his car to bring terrorists in his call centre", he said.
IGP informed that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police will probe the modus operandi of a hi-tech hideout at Hyderpora and will also investigate the sequence of events that led to the killing of the building owner and terrorist associate.
“The team will get into the details whether terrorists were in touch with any foreign country”, IGP said.
Asked about the recovery of electronic gadgets that had links with foreign countries including the US, the IGP said that it was a matter of investigation and once full details come, the same will be shared with the media. |
