On Tuesday, 30th March 2021, Kashmir Inspector General Vijay Kumar stated that proscribed terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) may have been involved in the Sopore attack in which two municipal councillors and a policeman have been killed.
Talking about the attack, the police officer said, "Since the municipal chairman didn't inform police before the meeting, there was no additional deployment there."
- He said that municipal councillor Shams-ud-Din Peer had four gunmen including 2 Personnel Security Officers (PSOs). The PSOs should have retaliated to avert the incident. All four have been suspended, he added.
"Yesterday, we nabbed an over ground worker who revealed that a local LeT terrorist and a Pakistani LeT terrorist visited his home a day before the incident to plan the attack," he said.
- The municipal councillor Shams-ud-Din Peer who was injured in the Sopore attack on Monday succumbed to his injuries in hospital today.
Yesterday, a councillor and a policeman were killed in a terrorist attack in the area of Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district.
