Srinagar, Aug 08, 2015: The Jammu and Kashmir Police on Saturday arrested three men for providing help to Pakistani terrorist Naved alias Usman Khan, who was captured three days ago.

Among the arrested is a man who gave shelter to Naved.

The arrests come hours after Naved was brought to the Kashmir Valley from Jammu region by road to identify those who helped him reach Udhampur where he was arrested.

Usman of Faisalabad is a member of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terror outfit.

The terrorist was overpowered by villagers after he and a fellow Pakistani terrorist shot dead two Border Security Force (BSF) troopers on the Jammu-Srinagar highway in Udhampur district on August 5.

The captured Pakistani is now in the custody of the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

While NIA officials reached Srinagar on Friday from Delhi, Usman had been brought to establish the route he used to reach Udhampur and to identify accomplices who facilitated his passage.

He was also expected to identify the hideouts used by him after he crossed into Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district from Pakistan and also the other LeT cadres he met while planning the attack.

The NIA has taken over Usman’s interrogation to know more about the LeT network in Jammu and Kashmir and elsewhere in India.

Usman is now reportedly lodged in an office of the Special Operations Group of the Jammu and Kashmir Police in Srinagar.
