The post-mortem examination of the three militants killed during the Gurdaspur terror strike has shown that the gloves of one of them has been made in Pakistan, strengthening India’s stand that it was a cross-border operation.
The Punjab Police said the doctors had said in the post-mortem report that the gloves carried the “Made in Pakistan” tag.
The police had earlier found two GPS trackers on the terrorists. The pre-set coordinates of a tracker indicated that they had infiltrated into India by crossing the Ravi river via Tash village in Gurdaspur.
Preliminary findings have suggested that the masterminds of the operation had made every effort to conceal the nationality or identity of the terrorists.
A body search of the terrorists, immediately after the 12-hour encounter, revealed that the tailor labels of their clothes had been removed.
Forensic labs to examine articles recovered from terrorists
The articles recovered from the three militants killed during the Gurdaspur terror strike are being sent to forensic labs for a closer examination and DNA analysis, Punjab Police sources said.
Manufacturing marks of their weapons had been erased. The grenades they carried were of Chinese make. A night-vision device seized from them was found to be of U.S. make. “We have shared details of the device with U.S. agencies for a cross-check. It carried a unique manufacturing number,” a senior police officer said.
The five improvised explosive devices found on the rail tracks not far from the Dinanagar police station encounter site had been assembled using select components. The batteries used in the bombs did not have any manufacturing tag.
