Four Jaish militants arrested in Delhi

New Delhi, February 4
Four suspected Jaish-e-Mohammad militants, including a Pakistani national, were tonight arrested after a gunbattle with the police in the heart of the city here and three kilograms of RDX was seized from them.

The police had information that the militants — one Pakistani and three Kashmiris — would be coming at the Ranjit Singh Flyover stretching from Barakhamba Road to Deen Dayal Upadhaya Marg.

As the ultras arrived, they were challenged by the police who were fired at. Police fired several rounds in retaliation before arresting them. "Their interrogation is going on," Deputy Commissioner of Police (special cell) Alok Kumar said.

The militants have been identified as Shahid Gaffoor from Sialkot in Pakistan, Bashir Ahmed, Fayyaz Lone and Abdul Majid.

Besides the RDX, six hand grenades, four detonators, one timer, $ 10,000 and Rs 50,000 were seized from them. The whole area near the flyover has been cordoned off after the shootout. — PTI
