Three suspects arrested in Pakistan in connection with the Pathankot airbase terror attack have been sent to a six-day police remand by an anti-terrorism court, days after an FIR was registered in the case.
The Dawn newspaper today reported, the three accused – Khalid Mahmood, Irshadul Haque and Muhammad Shoaib were arrested by the Counter-Terrorism Department, CTD in Gujranwala in Pakistan’s Punjab province. Arrests were made on suspicion that they were facilitators of last month’s Pathankot terror attack. The three were yesterday presented before an Anti-Terrorism Court judge in Gujranwala. The judge granted six-day physical remand of the suspects and handed them over to the CTD police.
The suspects denied the charges and were shifted to an undisclosed location for investigation.
Earlier this week, Pakistan had set up a five-member Joint Investigation Team to probe the terror attack, a week after it formally registered a case into the incident. The case was registered based on the information shared by India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval with his Pakistani counterpart.
