Lashkar courier escapes from custody

Staff Reporter

Jammu: An alleged courier of the Lashkar-e-Taiba escaped from police custody in Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir on Monday.

Abdul Qadir, a resident of Kishtwar district, was described as a prize catch by the police on March 2 as he was arrested with arms and ammunition which were to be supplied to Yasir Ittoo, divisional commander of the Lashkar-e-Taiba. Abdul Qadir, as per police interrogation, was given arms by another Lashkar functionary in Baramulla district of the Kashmir valley, who remains to be identified.

Talking to The Hindu, SSP, Doda, Manohar Singh said, “The person under custody escaped on Monday when he was brought from the jail to the police station to be taken to the court for hearing of his case. Qadir was able to dodge the police personnel who were guarding him. We have suspended the two policemen who were on duty. At the same a massive man hunt to nab the escapee has started.”
