No doubt, Gurdaspur terror attack has shaken the country to the core and investigations are going on to find out who is behind this attack. According to a recent revelation, it has come into view that the attackers had worn gloves on which ‘made in Pakistan’ was written. In addition, an apprehended NVD (Night Vision Device) shows the link of Afghanistan.
Doctors who have carried out the fidayeen’s postmortem killed in Punjab Police operation done on 27th July particularly described under the report of ‘external appearance’ that a tag of ‘made in Pakistan’ had been discovered on an attacker’s glove. It’s again an imperative clue or rather proof which ascertains the involvement of Pakistan in Gurdaspur attack, as stated by cop to HT.
Moreover, the panel of doctors had taken the attackers’ DNA samples and handed investigators the complete report of postmortem.
Besides, cop has also carried out random search on their clothes for collecting more clues but no label could be seen even in their undergarments.
As said by cop, “The bodies were handed over to doctors, who during close examination of terrorists’ clothes found ‘made in Pakistan’ tag intact on a glove.” The cop has also mentioned that searchers will gather the samples of soil from attackers’ shoes so that they can analyze deeply.
US NVD boasts a unique no. , i.e., 032008 80063–A325 in addition to marking like “US government property” as well as “warning”. Information of NVD is shared with FBI by researchers unofficially and primary investigation gives the clue of NVD’s being “originated from the strife-torn Afghanistan,” as per sources. With the help of device’s markings, FBI will make sure the time and location when NVD was lost or to whom it had been given primarily. Aside from this, lethal rocket- propelled grenade launcher has captured the attention of investigators. Here it’s worth mentioning that they recovered the weapon from attackers in Dinanagar station. Investigations were executed on each of its aspects and the time when they discovered it, the launcher was in position of ‘ready to launch’ as well as had a live rocket inside it.
“The rocket launcher was placed in a direction of the police station from where major police offensive was launched. It seems the terrorists wanted to fire a rocket as a last resort to flee from the site,” according to sources.
Sources further added, “The three fidayeen first crossed the Ravi river through Mastgarh village from across the border adjoining Gurdaspur sector. The terrorists after crossing the Ravi planted 2.5kg RDX on the track to blow a small rail bridge. It was from this bridge the US-made NVD was recovered. The GPS has entry of Gurdaspur town, indicating that the ‘jihadis’ wanted to strike in Gurdaspur town also had they were not effectively engaged by the police during the initial gun battle.”
A team of cop is conducting the probe, which includes G Nageshwar Rao, Inspector General (crime) and Rohit Chaudhary, Punjab railway police chief.
