Indian troops killed four gunmen who had entered an Indian air force base near the border with Pakistan and exchanged fire with security forces on Saturday, officials and news reports said.
– National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval was also monitoring the terror attack from New Delhi, sources told IANS.
Vigil was also heightened in several areas, including popular market places, in South Delhi, Central Delhi and the VIP movement zone in Lutyen’s Delhi, a senior police official said.
Since the Pakistani number was under surveillance, security agencies were able to find out the possible target of the terrorists, leading to dispatching of 160 NSG commandos, army special forces besides others.
The statement said intelligence inputs had been received of a likely attempt by terrorists to infiltrate into the military installation in the Pathankot area and preparatory actions had been taken to thwart any such attempt.
