SWAT Teams, Choppers At Gurdaspur On Day Of Search Operations
CHANDIGARH January 08, 2016: No terrorist has been caught in Gurdaspur’s Tibri in the three-day operation, but reports of suspicious men seen in the area continue to surface.Today, the police and the army investigators are questioning a local who reported seeing two men who asked him the way to the Tibri cantonment. He said when he was unable to help them and tried to leave, they threw an object at him which hit and injured him on the shoulder.
Gurdaspur is near the border with Pakistan and just 40 km away from Pathankot, where six terrorists attacked an air force base on last Saturday. For nearly three days, the military has pressed armoured cars and soldiers into combing the sugarcane fields in and around the village but has drawn a blank. The Punjab Police has deployed its Israel-trained SWAT team, which have been especially trained to neutralise terrorists. “We are also doing aerial reconnaissance to locate any suspicious movement,” Kunwar Vijay Partap Singh, a senior officer of Border Range said today.
There was some information that the suspects had slipped into a villager’s house. “We launched a search operation around that area which took long six hours. However, they (suspects) were not found in that area,” he said. The search operation has continued overnight. “At this moment not ruling out any thing,” he added. Over the weekend, Pakistani terrorists had entered the Pathankote air base in two groups and launched an attack before dawn on Saturday.
