An officer of the NSG was killed on Sunday in a powerful blast that occurred during the ongoing search operation at the IAF base amid fresh round of firing between the terrorists believed to be two in number and the security forces that started afresh inside the airbase complex in the afternoon.
“Pained to know about demise of Lt. Col. Niranjan of NSG during mopping out ops at Pathankot, nation salutes his sacrifice”, Home Minister Rajnath Singh reportedly said.
Mehrishi said four terrorists were killed in the gun-fight yesterday while firing resumed this afternoon at two places in the air base. Singh later deleted his tweet.
The technical area where the IAF’s MIG-21 fighter jets, MI-35 attack helicopters and other critical assets are stationed was secure, said the sources.
Air Commodore JS Dhamoon, Air Officer Commanding, Air Force Station Pathankot, said “The operations are at a mature stage”.
However, no reports have emerged of any remaining presence of terrorist in the Air Base.
“The operations are at a mature stage”.
Gunshots were also heard from the Indian Air Force frontier base on Sunday morning leading to speculation that a sixth terrorist could still be holed up inside.
The Home Secretary said four terrorists were neutralised yesterday and the search operation was slowed down in the night as more careful moves were needed.
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the latest situation at the Pathankot air base.
Five companies comprising almost 500 personnel have been deployed by the army in the operation.
