NIA took over the investigation from J&K govt.
Six days after Lashkar-e-Toiba militant pulled off a dramatic escape from hospital, National Investigation Team (NIA) took over the probe from Jammu and Kashmir Police on Monday
Mohammad Naveed Jatt of Multan Pakistan escaped from Shri Maharaja Hari Singh (SMHS) hospital after his associates shot dead two policemen accompanying him for medical checkup and investigations on February 6..
Later Jammu and Kashmir government suspended Superintendent of Srinagar Central Jail Hilal Ahmad Rather. Police later arrested four militants and over ground workers (OGW) who helped Lashkar-e-Toiba commander Naveed Jatt to flee from the hospital.
On Monday, NIA took over the probe and registered a case related to the escape LeT terrorist Naveed Jatt from SMHS hospital in Srinagar. “NIA team is proceeding to Srinagar on Tuesday to take up the investigation of the case”, said an NIA officer.
Jatt alias Abu Hanzullah alias Munnu alias Chotu, a resident of Sahiwala, Multan in Punjab Pakistan, was arrested in a joint operation by Jammu and Kashmir police, 62 Rashtriya Riffles and 18th Battalion of CRPF in Kulgam district of south Kashmir on June 20, 2014.
Jatt, who was then acting as district commander of Lashkar in south Kashmir, had told his interrogators that he was trained in the same “Aksa” camp where Kasab had undergone arms training. A prized catch Jatt had given insight of Lashkar’s working in Pakistan, to his interrogators. He had told his integrators that Lashkar bosses had become increasingly cautious after the arrest of Kasab.
Sources said he had told his interrogators that Lashkar top trainers were teaching the militants not to repeat the mistakes made by Kasab during the attack in Mumbai. Particularly the cadres were being trained how to conceal identities while speaking over phones and avoid landing into custody in which Kasab failed.
A school dropout, Jatt was admitted in the Lashkar training camp as a shepherd by his father when he was 12 years old. For four years he was taking care of cattle and alternately training in arms before he was sent to Kashmir in 2012. From early 2013 he was operating in south Kashmir and has been involved in number of killings and attacks on security forces.
