DELHI POLICE ON ALERT OVER TWO JAISH SUSPECTS

NEW DELHI: Police on Tuesday sounded an alert in Delhi and released photographs of two alleged Jaish-e-mohammed operatives who might try to carry out a terror attack in the city. Deputy commissioner of police (special cell) Pramod Kushwah said they received inputs two Jaish-e-mohammed suspects are approaching Delhi.

On Sunday, three people were killed and 20 injured in a grenade attack in Amritsar, two days after Punjab Police issued an alert that six or seven JEM terrorists had sneaked into state.

In the photo released by Delhi Police on their social media accounts — which have been pasted across the city — the two men are seen leaning on a milestone that reads, Firozpur 9 kilometres and Delhi 360 kilometres. Firozpur is 133 km from Amritsar, where three people were killed and 20 injured when two men on a motorcycle threw a grenade at a religious congregation on Sunday. An archway is also seen in the background with a Pakistani flag hoisted from the top. A senior officer who did not wish to be named said they were yet to ascertain the whereabouts of these men in Delhi.

Police are also not dismissing a warning that was recently issued on a Whatsapp group allegedly being run by a member of the student’s wing of Jaish-emohammed, in which they talked of avenging Maulana Masood Azhar’s nephew Usman Haidar encounter in Kashmir’s Tral on October 30.
