The British police is treating the attack on Lt Gen (retd) K S Brar as a case of attempted murder,a spokesman said Wednesday.

The spokesperson for the London Metropolitan Police said all the four persons involved in the attack on Brar were of Asian-orgin and had long beards.

No arrests have been made yet and the police is mulling whether or not to issue photo sketches of the suspected assailants.

The spokesperson denied that the police had ever commented on one of the attackers leaving behind a mobile phone at the scene of the attack as claimed by Brar.

Brar has said he is convinced it was an attempt to assassinate him by pro-Khalistan elements for his role in the 1984 Operation Bluestar.

Soon after the attack,Brar had said he had informed local army authorities in Mumbai about his private visit to London,but the Indian High Commission in London said it was unaware of his trip.
