Srinagar: Terrorists responsible for killing of six J&K policemen would soon be brought to justice, said the state police chief SP Vaid here on Saturday.
Without mincing words, the state police chief said, “These terrorists would soon face the law,” and added that the government has announced a bounty of Rs 10 lakh for LeT terrorist Bashir Lashkari, believed to have orchestrated the said attack on policemen in Anantnag.
With regards disfiguring the faces of the policemen after being killed, the police chief said, “as per my information, they fired from a closer range and that is why there was shattering of the face.”
Vaid was talking to mediapersons after paying floral tributes to the mortal remains of Constable Tasveer Ahmad, one of those killed. He said, “they will face the law and very soon you will see the results.”
Though senior officials of the police and the para-military and also the chief secretary BB Vyas, paid tributes to the slain constable at DPL Srinagar, no politician was present there on the occasion.
The state police chief also said that the attackers had been identified and the security agencies were on the job. “It is only a matter of time before they all are tracked and adequately punished,” added Vaid.
A reward of Rs 10 lakh for any information leading to the capture or killing of Lashkari has already been announced.
