Aamir Sohail had access to Pak terrorist camps

Vadodara, Sept 1: The investigating agencies, interrogating Pakistani national Aamir Sohail for the past one week, suspect the intruder had close links with a Pak-based terrorist outfit as he had admitted to have had easy access to such training camps.

''Teams have already been sent to Attari, Wagah and other places to verify all the facts what Sohail has stated during his interrogation,'' GRP Superintendent A S Gahlut told sources here today.

Mr Gahlut said the Pakistani intruder was still under detention by the GRP and necessary action would follow only after verifications were complete by different security and investigating agencies roped in for the purpose.

Twenty-year-old Sohail, a resident of Rajajung in Kasuri district of Pakistan, was nabbed by RPF without ticket and with a Pak lady's passport soon after he got down from the Mumbai-bound Golden Temple Frontier Mail here on August 26 night.

During interrogation, Sohail who managed to give slips to the security personnel at the Attari and Wagah borders, had reportedly admitted that he had been to militants' training camps being run close to their village, but had never undertaken any such training.

The GRP superintendent said all agencies working in close coordination, would soon be able to find out the real motive behind Sohail's proposed plan to visit Mumbai.

The accused, who claimed that he sneaked into India after brutally assaulting his father for his illicit relation with his own daughter, had maintained that he had boarded the Amritsar-Mumbai Golden Temple Mail at Delhi only to see the Mumbai city.
