Pathankot attack sr punjab police officer to undergo lie detector test

Meanwhile the National Investigating Agency is trying to find similarities between the Pathankot and the Dinanagar attacks, it is also trying to find out if anyone part of the Punjab militancy had a role to play.

Six terrorists were murdered in a table-procedure by Indian causes that also stated the lifestyles of eight safety workers and survived for around three times.

At the Samba army camp, the militants had used a modus operandi similar to that used at the Pathankot air base. However, they failed to carry out their plan due to the tight security at the camp.

The Punjab senior police officer Salwinder Singh who is been probed by the National Investigating Agency will undergo lie detector test next week in connection to the Pathankot terror attack. The case is being probed by the Punjab Police.

Home Ministry sources said Singh, who is at present posted as Assistant Commandant with 75th battalion of Punjab Armed Police, was questioned for the fifth consecutive day on Friday and confronted with his cook Madan Gopal and caretaker of Panj Pir dargah Somraj.

The NIA recovered a magazine with seven live bullets from the scene of the encounter at the IAF base.

Mr Singh was kidnapped and set free by the terrorists involved in the Pathankot airbase attack, and the joint questioning is likely to bring greater clarity on incidents that preceded the assault on the airbase.

Salwinder Singh had claimed that he was a regular visitor to the shrine and had visited it before he was abducted by the terrorists.

Somraj had also informed the NIA sleuths that Salwinder Singh’s friend Verma and cook Gopal had visited the shrine twice on the same day.

Mr. Singh, who is also one of the prime witnesses in the case, had claimed thate he was abducted by terrorists in the early hours on January 1, 2016, when he was reportedly returning from a mazar (religious place) in a village in the border district of Gurdaspur.

A statement issued by the office of Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said several Jaish-e-Mohammed leaders had been arrested for the Pathankot attack.
