New Delhi: The Capital had a tryst with terror late on Sunday night as four Jaish-e-Mohammed militants were arrested from ITO after a gunbattle with the police.
Besides three kilograms of RDX, six hand grenades, four detonators, one timer, $10,000 and Rs 50,000 were recovered from them.
The police were tipped off that the militants—one Pakistani and three Kashmiris— would be coming to the Ranjit Singh Flyover stretching from Barakhamba Road to Deen Dayal Upadhaya Marg.
When the Jaish militants arrived at the stipulated place, they were challenged by the police. What followed was a 25-minute gunbattle in which the police and militants exchanged 50 rounds of firing. No one is reported to have been injured.
"Their interrogation is going on," Deputy Commissioner of Police (special cell) Alok Kumar told PTI. The militants have been identified as Shahid Gaffoor from Sialkot in Pakistan, Bashir Ahmed, Fayyaz Lone and Abdul Majid.
While the whole area near the flyover was cordoned off soon after the shootout, fresh reports coming in say that the traffic is now back to normal.
Although the motive of the militants is still not known, police sources say that the cache seized indicates that a massive terror attack was perhaps underway. The four arrested are being presently interrogated.
