| Sidhra encounter: Police trying to identify local guides, terrorists | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 31: Although alert security forces have foiled Pakistan’s evil design to send heavily-armed terrorists to Kashmir Valley to execute terror attacks, cops have intensified efforts to identify local guides who provided all support to the terrorists and arrange the truck for them.
Sources said that during the initial investigation it has been established that some local guides have arranged a truck, bearing a fake registration number, for the terrorists to help them smoothly reach Kashmir Valley.
“Some local guides provided all logistics to the terrorists who might have been infiltrated from the International Border (IB) taking benefit of the foggy conditions”, sources said and added that it is believed that a fake number plate was installed inside J&K because there is no entry of the truck at Lakhanpur toll-plaza-which is the gateway of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
Furthermore, local guides tempered the chassis and engine numbers of the truck in which terrorists were travelling to dodge the security agencies.
As reported in a big success, security forces eliminated as many as four terrorists in an encounter in the Sidhra area of Jammu city on Wednesday morning. The terrorists were travelling in a truck loaded with husk from Jammu to Srinagar
Additional Director General of Police (ADGP), Jammu Zone, Mukesh Singh said that the truck driver is yet to be identified, who managed to flee when the security forces stopped the truck in the Sidhra area of Jammu.
The police also recovered seven AK-47 rifles and three pistols along with other ammunition from the truck.
“In view of the coming January 26 and considering the previous history of interception of terrorists during this season, the border security grid was strengthened in Jammu province”, police said.
Two weeks back a huge consignment of arms and ammunition was also recovered from a truck in the Narwal area of Jammu. Considering this development, a high alert had been sounded in all districts of Jammu province. |
