New Delhi: While he is one of the prime witnesses in the Pathankot terror attacks case, Gurdaspur Superintendent of Police Salwinder Singh is also likely to be questioned as a prime suspect. Sources say that even on the second day of his questioning, the National Investigating Agency (NIA) is not satisfied with the answers that he gave.
NIA is likely to question him again. He may also be asked to undertake a lie detector test.
The NIA had issued summons to Salwinder Singh, who is at present Assistant Commandant of 75th battalion of Punjab Armed Police, to appear before the agency for questioning as there were some discrepancies in his statement to the NIA and Punjab Police.
Salwinder Singh had claimed that he, along with his cook and a friend, were abducted by terrorists on his way back from Panj Pir shrine. Singh has been under the scanner for giving contradictory versions of his story.
Singh, along with his jeweller friend Rajesh Verma and cook Madan Gopal, were allegedly kidnapped by terrorists on the intervening night of December 31 and January 1 before they entered the IAF base in Pathankot and carried out a terror strike on the following intervening night in which seven security personnel including a Lt Colonel of NSG were killed.
Singh was recently shunted as SP (headquarters) of Gurdaspur following allegation of breach of discipline.
