The Punjab Police on Wednesday launched a search operation in Dinanagar area here after an 11-year-old boy spotted two suspicious men.

“We have launched a search operation after a boy saw two suspicious men,” a police officer in Gurdaspur said.

The boy spotted two men in civil clothes at around 10:30 am who jumped the wall of his school.

The boy informed the class teacher and then police was informed about the incident.

“We are also verifying the claims of the student,” he added.

Senior police officials of the district reached the school and started search operation to trace the suspects.

Alert sounded

An alert was sounded few days back in the border districts of Gurdaspur and Pathankot after a call from Pakistan was intercepted by security agencies suggesting movement of some suspects.

Police along with Army had then conducted massive search operation.

Significantly, terrorists who had sneaked from across the border had attacked Pathankot air base on the intervening night of January 1-2 while Dinanagar in Gurdaspur was targeted on July 27 last year. - PTI
