Senior police officials on Tuesday termed the Maqsudan police station blast case to be an indication towards nexus between Kashmiri outfits and the ISI.

Police officials working on the case said, “There is no other reason why a terror group from Kashmir would come to Punjab and execute a blast at a police station here. Soon after the blast, Bhindranwale Tiger Force had taken responsibility of the incident just to dodge us.”

Police Commissioner GS Bhullar maintained that he was getting the case investigated thoroughly to assess any links with other groups.

Meanwhile, the arrest of two more Kashmiri students on Monday by the Jalandhar (City) police, this time of St Soldier College of Engineering and Technology, in unlawful activities in Punjab has once again terrified students studying in local colleges.

The college authorities shared that since the arrest of Kashmiri students from CT Institute last month, the police authorities had been taking from them the lists of dropout students from Jammu and Kashmir.

Shahid Qayoom (22) and Fazil Bashir (23), who were St Soldier students, were those who had been off from the campus for the past six months and were now said to be aligned with Kashmir-based terrorist outfit Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGH). The students were pursuing B-Tech (Civil), seventh semester.

Manbir Singh, director of CT Institutes, said, “Ever since the first episode took place, the attendance of students in the classes fell by 50 per cent. It took us a lot of time and effort to get the issue settled, bring in Kashmiri students back to classrooms and surely after another incident yesterday, they would now be more worried. Many have gone home during the festival break and I am sure they would now get their leaves extended as their families too are upset over the incidents happening here.”

Some points raise suspicion

Meanwhile, some points in the story revealed by the police raise suspicion over the involvement of Kashmiri outfit:

n Why would a terror group led by most wanted man Zakir Mussa use low intensity, crude bombs as in the case?

n How come no one saw four people throwing bombs from outside the police station, falling on a very busy highway?

n The story put forth by the police that soon after throwing bombs, the four accused took two auto-rickshaws from right in front of the police station and fled from the spot seems quite weird in this situation.
