The NIA chargesheet on the Pathankot Air Base attack says the four terrorists were sent to India on December 30, 2015, and traces their route culminating in the attack on January 2, 2016. Once they infiltrated the air base, one of the terrorists — Nasir Hussain —reportedly called a woman in Pakistan whom he addressed as “Mother” and told her to host a feast for his friends after his death.
Sent with arms, ammunition and logistical items, they allegedly crossed the international border through a forested area near the Simbal border outpost. Empty food packets manufactured in Pakistan and other food articles from Pakistan were recovered from the forest area near the outpost.
From Bhagwal village they travelled to Janial on December 31 around 9.30 pm, where they hijacked an Innova taxi along with the driver Ikagar Singh, and snatched his phone, using it to call their handler, Kashif Jan, on three Pakistan mobile numbers. Later they allegedly killed Ikagar Singh, dumped his body and drove on in the damaged Innova before abandoning it at a service station at Kolian Morh in Pathankot district.
Then they hijacked police officer Salwinder Singh’s XUV in which they travelled to the base, dumping Salwinder and his domestic help but taking along the police officer’s friend, Rajesh Verma, whose throat they would slit at Akalgarh village.
From inside the Air Force station, starting at about 8.40 am on January 1, Nasir made a series of calls to Pakistan, including one to the woman he addressed as “mother”. Apart from telling her to hold a feast for his friends, he told her details of the journey to the airbase and the encounters with Ikagarh, Salwinder and his friend.
Nasir also spoke to his brother, named in the chargesheet as Babar, and to another person named as Munna. In a call at 9.20 am, he reportedly disclosed the names of his three associates as Major, Abu Bakar and Umar.
The chargesheet says the DNA profiles of the genetic material lifted from a dagger found on one of the terrorists matched those of their victims.The seat belt of the Mahindra XUV was cut and used to tie one of the victims, it says.
A walkie-talkie set belonging to the terrorists and a slip written in English were recovered from the vehicle. On it was written, “Jaish-e-Muhamad Zindabad, Tanghdar se le kar Samba Kathua Rajbagh aur Delhi tak, Afzal Guru shadeed kay jan nisar tum ko meltay rahege. Insha Allah. A.G.S. 25”.
Rajesh Verma’s iPhone, which was snatched by the terrorists, was recovered from a nullah near the perimeter wall of the air base where the terrorists had hidden before the attack.

Among the six Pakistani mobile numbers that the NIA has mentioned in the chargesheet for the terrorist attack on Pathankot air base, one is registered in the name of a user whose
Facebook account is still active and whose WhatsApp account was active until February 1, 2016.
Khayam Rasool is the only person identified by the chargesheet as the user of any of the phone numbers. The number used by Rasool, according to the chargesheet, was dialled by the Pakistani terrorists who attacked the air base on January 2 to speak to the main handler, Kashif Jan, and senior operatives of Jaish-e-Mohammad in Pakistan.
While February 1, 2016, was the last date when WhatsApp was active on the number, the final status update was on September 8, 2015. The update is the opening line of a Mehdi Hassan ghazal: “Yaad mazi azaab hai ya rab..cheen lay muj say hafiza mera”. It is followed by a sad emoticon.
“As per our information, Rasool lives near the house of terrorist Nasir who was among the attackers killed,” said an official.
The only public post on Rasool’s Facebook page is a profile photo dating back to April 2, 2015. It has six comments, 15 likes and one share. It shows 67 friends.
An NIA source said investigators probed this and other Facebook accounts linked to the phone numbers.
As per the NIA chargesheet, Rasool’s was one among the numbers in Pakistan on which terrorists made calls from phones snatched from SP Salwinder Singh, jeweller Rajesh Verma and cook Madan Gopal after hijacking Salwinder’s XUV.
The chargesheet mentions that Khayam Rasool’s is the only number whose user is known. Rasool, as per NIA chargesheet, also goes by the names of Khayam Bhatti and Babar Bhatti and runs a local merchandise shop in Rum, Sialkot, Pakistan.
Shame on you. Shame on you . . . . . !
