It will secure DNA samples of three terrorists who were killedThe National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday registered a case to probe the conspiracy behind the unsuccessful attack on an Army installation in Kupwara, where three terrorists were killed by the alert troops. An NIA team was at the spot taking over the evidence collected by the army, besides the bodies of the three terrorists killed after a fierce encounter at north Kashmir’s Langate, 82 km from Srinagar. The NIA would be also securing the DNA samples of the three terrorists who were killed after nearly a five-hour gunbattle with the troops. This ascertains that all the three were Pakistani terrorists,” a senior army official said on Thursday after the attack was over.
