Even before the investigators interrogated the Pakistani-trained militant captured by Village Defence Committee (VDC) members after the gruesome terror attack on a BSF convoy, he was made to do “seedhi-baat” by the locals while he sat barefooted among VDC members with his hands tied with a rope.
After a lot of persuasion when locals convinced him to frankly speak with them and share his real identity, he too entertained them with his one-liners.
Smilingly he said, “I am from Pakistan and I am here to avenge killing of Kashmiris.” When he was quizzed by villagers to explain why he took up guns and not leading a simple life and enjoying it he said “It’s fun doing this”.
The Pakistani national also revealed that he entered the Jammu region 12 days ago along with a fellow terrorist identified as Momin Khan. Khan was killed in retaliatory fire by BSF.
“It has been 12 days since I came here. We walked all days in the jungle,” he said as villagers clicked pictures with the prize catch.
