Islamabad
: Members of Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed have been arrested in Pakistan in connection with the Pathankot terror attack.
Offices of the organisation were also sealed on Wednesday in the first major action taken by Pakistan after the January 2 terror attack on the Pathankot air base in which seven Indian soldiers were killed.
Pakistani investigators are likely to travel to India.
India has alleged that the attack was orchestrated by Jaish and had handed over proof that the terrorists were in touch with their handlers in Pakistan before the attack.
Pakistan had, in its initial response, said that phone numbers and call transcripts supplied by India did not check out and that the numbers were not registered there.
Union home minister Rajnath Singh said Tuesday that India had “no reason to distrust” Pakistan’s assurances that it will take effective action on the inputs given by India about the perpetrators of the Pathankot attack. “The Pakistan government has said it will take effective action. I think we should wait,” Mr Singh said. The foreign secretary-level talks with Pakistan that were due to be held from Friday are all set to be somewhat delayed.
The home minister told reporters that since the Pakistan government had given an assurance to India, “there is no reason to distrust (avishvaas) them (Pakistan) so early”.
