Terror alert: Bomb disposal squads rush to Pathankot railway station

“We have recovered a country-made pistol and two live cartridges from his possession”, he said.

An unclaimed bag at a railway station here on Tuesday sparked a security scare, but it was later found that it contained clothes and was mistakenly left behind by a soldier.

Security forces killed all the terrorists in the counter-offensive.

In the first instance, there’s a bomb alert at the Pathankot railway station. “We are verifying its contents”, R K Bakshi, Pathankot SSP, said.

The police will produce him before court and seek orders for his remand after which a thorough investigation will be conducted.

The police with a dog squad reached the spot and put sand bags over the suspicious bag to control the extent of damage if it did indeed contain explosives, reported India Today. GRP, SHO, Davinder Singh informed that the arrested person was identified as Rinku Sharma, a resident of Chenta village in Madhya Pardesh who was travelling to Jammu & Kashmir. “These incidents happen in every district and not in Pathankot alone” he said.
