New Delhi: Punjab Police officer Salwinder Singh's cook and jeweller friend, who were allegedly abducted along with him by the terrorists who later attacked the Pathankot air base, will be brought to Delhi where the National Investigation Agency or NIA is questioning the cop.
The three men will be made to confront each other, sources said. The statements of the cook Madan Gopal and the jeweller Rajesh Verma are being recorded now.
Mr Singh's account of the alleged abduction, less than two days before six terrorists attacked the base, is riddled with contradictions, investigators say. Mr Singh could undergo a polygraph or lie detector test.
Salwinder Singh, who was a Superintendent of Police in Punjab's Gurdaspur, which borders Pakistan, has claimed the three men were waylaid, abducted and later released by the terrorists dressed in army fatigues on the night of December 31.
Seven security personnel were martyred and 20 were injured in the attack. A lieutenant colonel of the elite National Security Guard's bomb disposal squad was among those martyred in the strike.
A 10-member NIA team continues search operations in Punjab and has recovered an AK-47 magazine, mobile phone and binoculars from the IAF base in Pathankot.
