Gurdaspur attack: 'GPS sets found on terrorists suggest Pak link'
2015-07-29
[HINDUSTANTIMES] The Global Positioning System (GPS) sets found on the three hard boyz killed after they stormed a cop shoppe in Punjab's Gursdapur district have hinted at a Pakistain link to the terror attack, security sources said on Tuesday.

An initial analysis of the GPS sets, which the hard boyz used for navigation, yielded "vital clues" about Monday's terror strike.

The examination of the sets indicated that the hard boyz infiltrated into Indian territory from Pakistain at some time during the night of July 21 or the early morning of July 22, the sources said.

"Deeper examination of the GPS sets is underway. An initial appraisal by the security forces (suggests) that the ultras were pushed into India from Pakistain in Narot-Jaimal sector on the night of July 21-22," a source told Hindustan Times.

The sources said the GPS sets contained recordings of coordinates from 10.51pm on July 21, when the hard boyz were in the Narot-Jaimal sector of the border with Pakistain.

After July 21-22, the GPS sets were switched off. The sets have details of coordinates taken on Monday morning.

The sources said this meant the hard boyz were in the Pathankot-Gurdaspur region for the past five days and had perhaps surveyed the area before launching their attack on Monday.

"The hard boyz used the route of rivulets along the border belt and reached Bamiyal town. While observing that security in the Jammu region, which is very close, was tight, the hard boyz moved towards Dinanagar town," a police official told IANS.

Does that mean they were carrying smartphones?
