Six days after the Pulwama suicide bombing, in which 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on February 20 filed a FIR (First Information Report) “naming Maulana Masood Azhar-led Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM)” for the conspiracy, reports The Times of India.Sources said they already have sufficient primary evidence, including a video through which Jaish-e-Mohammed claimed responsibility, pattern of Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) attacks, names of people who executed the blast and details linking the bomb to Pakistan and JeM.The agency is planning to mount pressure on Pakistan through international agencies like Interpol to arrest Azhar since red notices have been issued against him in the past for attacks on the Pathankot IAF base, Parliament and J&K assembly. Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency have so far refused to honour these notices. Government officials said that the matter would be raised with Interpol’s headquarters since Pakistan is also a member of the international body, but has refused to arrest any wanted designated terrorist against whom red notice has been issued — be it Azhar, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Saeed, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) chief Syed Salahuddin, Abdul Rauf Asghar or D company boss Dawood Ibrahim. In fact, these people roam freely in the country along with security cover provided by the Pakistan Government. Agencies already have a dossier on JeM, which includes its sympathisers, overground workers (OGW), known hideouts of cadres, madrasas from where the outfit gets support in Kashmir and other parts of the country.Sources said all those linked to the outfit are being located while some have already been questioned in the last few days. A search is on for one of JeM’s local recruits in the Valley — Muddassir Ahmad Khan — who played a key role in the attack.
