The terrorists are reportedly members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba or LeT and Jaish-e-Mohammed or JeM.
Highlights
- Pakistan shared details on terrorists coming to India with NSA Ajit Doval
- Know location of other, reportedly Jaish and Lashkar, terrorists: Sources
- Gujarat and Delhi were put on high alert after a possible attack threat
Three of
10 Pakistani terrorists who entered India earlier this month, reportedly via Gujarat, have been killed, said government sources.
The location of the others is known, said the sources, stressing that no other information can be revealed because it could jeopardize security plans.
The information about the terrorists journeying to India was shared with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval by his Pakistani counterpart, Nasser Khan Janjua.
Gujarat was put on high alert after the warning, with increased security at the Somnath Temple on the occasion of Mahshivratri, one of the most important dates of the Hindu calendar. Intel agencies then said the terrorists may have travelled to Delhi, where malls and public places were asked to be especially vigilant.
The terrorists are reportedly members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba or LeT and Jaish-e-Mohammed or JeM.
Pakistan's disclosure about the men is seen as an attempt to prove it is genuine in its offer to prevent India from attacks planned across the border. In January, seven military personnel were killed in a deadly assault by
Pakistani terrorists at the air force base in Pathankot in Punjab, where military high-value assets including fighter jets are stationed.
India has agreed to a visit by Pakistani investigators assigned to examine the evidence at the air force base by Pakistani Prime Minister Nazwaz Sharif.
