Pakistan has set up a five-member Joint Investigation Team to probe the terror attack on the Pathankot airbase, a week after it lodged an FIR over the assault without naming JeM chief Masood Azhar who India has accused of having masterminded the strike.
The Joint Investigation Team (JIT), which was formed by the Punjab government yesterday, is expected to visit India “shortly” to gather evidence if the Indian government gives it permission.
An official of Punjab Home Department confirmed that a JIT has been formed by the provincial government for the Pathankot attack probe. “The JIT will carry out any further probe into the attack,” he said on condition of anonymity.
