New Delhi/Chandigarh: Pakistan’s complicity in the audacious Gurdaspur terror strike, that left eight people, including three civilians and one superintendent of police, dead on Monday, has been established by the Narendra Modi government, with twin GPS devices recovered from three slain fidayeen nailing the hand of Islamabad.
The GPS report, that was made available to the Union home ministry and the national security adviser, revealed that the terrorists started their journey from Gharot village near Shakargarh town in Pakistan, and “either used boats or rafts, or swam” across the 500-metre water stretch of the Ujh river, which is a major tributary of the Ravi.
A hunt is on by the BSF for any clues that the terror module may have left behind in these waters. After crossing the river, they headed to Bamiyal village on the Indian side of the border. From Bamiyal, the group boarded an early morning bus that took them to Highway 1A, which links Punjab with Jammu and Kashmir, and on to Dinannagar, the chosen target where the 12-hour-long gunbattle took place.
