NIA releases sketches of Pakistani terrorist Naved's aides, manhunt launched to capture the duo
National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday released sketches of two LeT terrorists who had infiltrated India from Pakistan along with Muhammad Naveed alias Usmani, the main accused in the Udhampur terror attack.
The sketches were made on the basis of interrogation of arrested Pakistani terrorist Naved. The two terrorists are Zargham alias Mohammad Bhai and Abu Okasha.
NIA has also declared a reward of Rs. five lakhs each to those who will capture them.
Naved was caught alive after an encounter with security forces, his other accomplice Mohammed Noman was killed in the gun-battle.
Meanwhile, captured terrorist Naved Yakub will be subjected to a polygraph test on Tuesday to nail the misleading statements he has made over the past 10 days about his Indian contacts and the route taken to infiltrate Jammu and Kashmir.
The DNA and voice samples of the alleged LeT operative, who was overpowered by the locals following the attack on a BSF bus in Udhampur district of Jammu on August five that left its two personnel dead, will also be obtained by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
NIA sources said collecting the DNA samples of the militant from Faislabad in Pakistan could help in proving his nationality. Islamabad has been insisting that Naved is not a Pakistani national, agency reported quoting sources.
Naved has told his interrogators he was often administered psychotropic substances by his Lashkar-e-Taiba handler who motivated him to wage 'Jihad' in India. He was also promised he would be rehabilitated in Pakistan with cash rewards after he carried out 5-6 terror attacks in India.
Earlier, the interrogation had thrown up some startling facts about the indoctrination and terror matrix across the other side of the Line of Control.
Naveed had entered India several days before the Udhampur attack and was part of a two-member group which crossed in. He identified his associate as Momin of Bhawalpur Pakistan.
Before entering Indian border, Naveed had undergone two training modules, 'Daur-e-Aam' and 'Daura-e-Khas'. While the first module teaches LeT cadre physical fitness, mountaineering and use of small arms, in the second they are trained in using assault rifles and manufacture of small explosives.
Naveed comes from a rather well-to-do family. One of his brothers is said to be a lecturer while another is running a hosiery business in Faisalabad. He has one sister. Naveed has himself not studied much.
He has now been shifted from Jammu to the national capital by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) . The agency had obtained a 14-day remand from a special NIA designate court in Jammu on August 10.
