| Militants using women as couriers in J&K: Police | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR: Investigations into the twin attacks on Sopore police station in Baramulla district has revealed that the militants might have established a wide network of women to act as couriers and conduits for them, officials said here today.
Police has arrested a 22-year-old woman, Quratul Ain, on July 12 while probing the rifle grenade attack followed by an IED explosion at Sopore police station, 55 kms from here, six days earlier.
One policeman was killed in the attack by the militants, who, according to police, were later killed in an encounter with security forces in Lolab area of Kupwara district on July 15.
Police claims that the investigations so far have revealed that Ain was acting as a conduit for Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants operating in north Kashmir and summer capital of Srinagar.
Highly placed sources said that the 22-year-old woman, who was scheduled to get married within a week, was not alone as more names of girls have come up during the probe.
"Seven other girls have been called for questioning by police at Sopore following reports of their involvement in militancy and unlawful activities," they said.
They said investigations have revealed that some of these girls were in contact with a top ranking militant commander of Lashkar in north Kashmir.
Meanwhile, a police spokesman denied a report published in a local Urdu daily which had claimed that Sopore police had summoned 300 girls.
The spokesman said, "the report is based on concocted, fabricated and baseless allegations."
He confirmed that only seven girls were summoned to the police station.
"These girls were only called during the day time and have always been accompanied by their relatives, particularly by a male member," he added. |
