NIA recovers Chinese-made wireless set from a vehicle outside Pathankot airbase

In a latest development in the Pathankot terror attack probe, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has recovered a Chinese-made wireless set from a vehicle outside the air base.

The wireless has been sent to CFSL for data extraction.

Meanwhile, questioning of Salwinder Singh, a Superintendent of Police-rank officer, continued for the third day at the NIA headquarters.

The questioning is continuing to ascertain various facts related to the case, the sources said, adding that Singh is allegedly changing statements quite often.

The NIA had also summoned Somraj, caretaker of Panj Peer Dargah in Punjab, which Singh had claimed to have visited before he was kidnapped by terrorists who attacked the Pathankot Air Force base hours later.

Somraj will be joining probe on Thursday, they said. The shrine is located a few kilometres from Bamiyal, the village from where the terrorists were suspected to have infiltrated into India before mounting the attack.

Six terrorists had attacked the Pathankot base during the intervening night of January 1 and 2. They were killed during a counter-operation by Indian forces that lasted for about three days in which seven security personnel were killed.
