The General Officer Commanding of the Delhi area has written to the Police Commissioner about four suspicious movements in less than a month around military installations in the Capital. In one case,a man was caught by a Lt Colonel while he was trying to scale the perimeter wall of the ordnance depot at Shakur Basti.

The Military Intelligence has questioned at least 10 persons in connection with the four incidents. With the Army reporting the matter to police,the Special Cell is looking into these sightings during November-December 2012. It is checking the antecedents of the 10 persons stopped by Army personnel.

Official sources said the first suspicious movement was detected on November 26 when two Kashmiris were stopped while they were roaming outside the ordnance depot. The sources said the two men had been spotted in the area earlier as well.

Sources said the men,who claimed to be residents of Kulgam,said they had come to Delhi to escape heavy snowfall in the Valley.

On December 5,a youth was held by a Lt Colonel while trying to scale the perimeter wall of the depot. Sources said the man later claimed he was mentally disturbed. He was taken to the Institute of Human Behaviour & Allied Sciences and is still lodged there.

On December 14,two men,again from Kulgam,were stopped at Sadar Bazar in Delhi Cantonment. They claimed they were seeking donations. On December 19,five persons,including four girls from Kashmir,were stopped as they were entering Shankar Vihar premises.
