New Delhi : The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has found certain similarities between the Dinanagar and Pathankot attacks with further investigation being underway, sources said.
Sources also said the NIA’s examination of Gurdapur Superintendent of Police Salwinder Singh, his cook and shrine caretaker will continue.
The NIA had summoned Somraj, the caretaker of Panj Peer Dargah located a few kilometres from Bamiyal, the village from where the terrorists were suspected to have infiltrated in India before launching the attack.
