Nagrota attack: NIA makes second arrest, Pulwama timber dealer held

In a statement, the agency said that his disclosures corroborate claims made by the previously arrested accused, Muneer-Ul-Hassan Qadri of Kupwara, “who had revealed that he along with other Valley-based operatives were in touch with the JeM leadership in Pakistan and had received a freshly infiltrated group of three Pakistani terrorists a day before the attack”.

The NIA claims that “they subsequently stayed at a hotel in Jammu and then left the attackers at Nagrota outside the Army camp” late at night and proceeded to the Kashmir Valley. The accused was arrested with active assistance of the J&K Police.
