Chandigarh, Jul 28: Despite the previous SAD-BJP government’s claim that the Punjab Police is a “capable force” to handle the probe into the Dinanagar terror attack, cops have failed to get any headway in the case even two years later.
Three Pakistan-based terrorists had killed seven people, including three policemen, in Dinanagar on July 27, 2015.
However, the investigations so far have failed to get any clue in the attack that the Punjab Police had claimed was carried out by terrorist outfit ‘Lashkar-e-Toiba’ at the behest of Pakistan.
Apart from its failure to clinch evidence of any terror group’s role, the Punjab Police have even failed to trace the starting location of the GPS devices used by the terrorists to reach their target.
“We have written several reminders to Garmin to get details about the GPS devices, but the US-based company has not replied to any. Our investigations are halted because the probe cannot move in any direction until we are able to find the locations used by terrorists to enter India before carrying out the attack in Dinanagar,” said a senior officer from Gurdaspur, who is involved in the probe.
Dinanagar assistant superintendent of police (ASP) Varun Sharma also told Hindustan Times that repeated reminders have been sent to ‘Garmin’ in this regard.
