A team of Pakistani investigators earlier today arrived at India’s Pathankot military airbase where they have been given limited access to be able to probe into New Delhi’s allegation that Pakistan based militants had attacked the facility in January this year.
The five-member joint investigation team comprising members of the ISI and civil intelligence agencies on Monday visited India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) headquarters.
According to a popular Pakistani News channel Geo News, activists of an extremist group held a protest demonstration in Pathankot against Pakistan ahead of the JIT visit to the airbase. The team is said to have been given limited access only to the area where the militants were holed up during the assault.
According to NIA announcement, the Pakistani team held a meeting with DG NIA and they were also given a detailed presentation in connection with the armed attack on India’s Pathankot airbase.
The Pakistani team also met with the Indian team probing into the Pathankot attack. The Pakistani JIT comprises Rai Tahir, Azeem Arshad, Lt Col Tanvir Ahmed, Lt Col Irfan Mirza and Inpspector Shahid Tanvir.
