Google Oneindia News

The National Investigating Agency (NIA) and the Central Intelligence Bureau will question the Superintendent of Police, Gurdaspur, Salwinder Singh once again in connection with the Pathankot terror attack case.

There are certain key questions that the central agencies would pose to Singh, his cook Mohan and jeweller friend Rajesh Verma.

Pathankot: 3 questions for SP to answer

The SP and two others were abducted by the terrorists who staged the Pathankot attack which lasted over 60 hours. NIA officials who have registered three different cases in connection with the attack say that there are various contradictions and we need to get more clarity so that the probe can make some sense.

Questions for the SP:

The NIA and the Central IB have some key questions for the SP. First and foremost they want to know what he was doing in Gurdaspur when he had a transfer order to Jalandhar. The SP in his defence had told the media that he had gone to visit a shrine on account of the New Year.

Secondly the NIA wants to know what he was doing so close to the Pakistan border in the night and whether he had any duty out there. The SP clarified that there was a shrine and hence he had gone there.

Thirdly the NIA seeks to know why was the SP going about the area without any security especially near the Pakistan border, when it is a well know fact that it is dangerous.
