Pathankot attack: Pakistan to ask India for more evidence, says report
The investigative team formed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has reportedly made no headway and needs more information from India.
A Pakistani government team investigating the attack at India's Pathankot airbase in January is going to ask India’s foreign ministry to provide more evidence. A report in Pakistani newspaper Dawn quoted a source saying that the investigation has made no headway and the team needed more evidence from India. The team, which was looking into five mobile phone numbers used to make calls from Pakistan to India, said no leads were found from the numbers.
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had earlier said the team’s findings will be made public, and that Pakistan would find out if its soil was used to plan the terror attack. A six-member team, headed by the Additional Inspector General of Punjab’s Counter Terrorism Department, was set up in Pakistan to investigate the Pathankot attacks. India had alleged that terrorist outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed was behind the attack.
Though Pakistan detained several people, including JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar, in connection with the attacks at Pathankot, none of them have been produced at a court so far. Talks between India and Pakistan were also postponed after the attacks.
