Gurdaspur: The three terrorists who attacked a police station in Dinanagar area of Gurdaspur district in the Punjab on Monday morning came from Tash in Shakargarh area of Pakistan, sources said.
After crossing Ravi river they sneaked into Punjab before reaching Talwandi and planted five IEDs at Talwandi on the Amritsar-Pathankot railway line.
According to the sources, Gurdaspur civil secretariat was also an intended target.
Punjab Police has recovered weapons with no markings and clothes without labels. As per evidence, the attempt was to mask a Pakistan backed terror attack.
CNN-IBN had also accessed the footage of 4:55 AM on Monday which showed the three heavily armed Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists walking on a road towards an eatery.
The CCTV was installed in one of the shops on the road which was used by the terrorists to walk unchallenged towards the police station. The terrorists killed seven people including one Superintendent of Police Baljeet Singh and three home guards before all of them were eliminated.
According to sources, Punjab Police was alerted nearly 2 months ago of a possible suicide attack. The investigators are pinning their hope on seized GPS, a compass used by travellers to reach their destinations, to ascertain the movements of the terrorists who were killed in the gunbattle.
