Security agencies in Jammu and Kashmir are closely investigating every aspect related to the Kulgam terrorist incident. During the initial investigation, the police have received such information, which has raised new questions regarding the preparations for the attack and the functioning of the terrorists. According to sources related to the investigation, the two-wheeler used in the crime was identified through its registration number. However, as the investigation progressed, it was found that the motorcycle of the person in whose name the number was registered was located somewhere else. It is suspected that the attackers had used the number plate of another vehicle to show its identity. Police have started interrogating the concerned vehicle owner. The attention of the officials is now on who helped in preparing the fake identity and what a big plan was working behind it.
Attempt to divert investigation through number plate
According to sources associated with the investigation, the attackers had manipulated the registration number of the vehicle to hide their real identity. When the police searched the number plate records, they reached the concerned owner. But investigation revealed that the motorcycle he had was not a direct match with the vehicle used in the attack. This led investigators to suspect that the criminals used the plate of another vehicle to hide their identity. At present, the police is trying to find out whose motorcycle the original one belonged to and from where the suspects got the fake number plate. The investigating agencies are matching technical evidence and local information before reaching any conclusion in this case.
Surveillance increased after vigilance of security forces
After the incident, extra vigilance is being taken regarding security arrangements in Jammu and Kashmir. Police and central security forces have been instructed to increase patrolling in sensitive areas and take immediate action on suspicious activities. Security agencies are also reviewing the intelligence information already received. According to officials, due to the alertness and immediate response of the soldiers deployed at the spot, the attackers could not execute their plan as expected. Coordination between various security units has been strengthened to keep an eye on suspicious activities.
Vigil increased on Jammu-Srinagar highway
In view of the Kulgam incident, the scope of surveillance has been increased in sensitive stretches of Jammu-Srinagar National Highway. The movement of vehicles is being monitored here. Security personnel have been given special instructions to check suspicious persons, abandoned objects and unusual activities. Additional soldiers have been deployed at places where terrorist incidents have already taken place. Security agencies are in constant touch with the local police to identify any potential threat in time.
Security arrangements are tight even in Vaishno Devi base camp
Keeping in mind the safety of the devotees coming to Katra for darshan of Mata Vaishno Devi, surveillance has been increased. Jammu and Kashmir Police, Special Operations Group and CRPF personnel have been deployed at important places. Security arrangements are being reviewed on travel routes, public places and crowded areas. The administration's emphasis is on ensuring that people coming on religious pilgrimage do not face any kind of problem and that immediate action can be taken against suspicious activities.
Now many important questions before the investigating agencies
The most important question in the entire episode is whose vehicle's identity the attackers used and through what means did they get this information. Police are investigating the actual owner of the vehicle, the person who prepared the number plate and possible contacts of the suspects. Apart from this, the technical evidence available around the incident site has also been made a part of the investigation. At present, the investigation of the case is going on and security agencies are connecting different clues to reach any possible terrorist network. In the coming days, interrogation and technical investigation is expected to reveal the complete picture of this conspiracy.
