INSIDE OUT: Investigating agencies are not ruling out the role of an insider in the whole exercise.
Lucknow/ New Delhi: Terror marked the New Year with an attack on a CRPF recruitment centre in Uttar Pradesh's Rampur, the second terror attack in the state in less than a month.
The attack had all the signs of a well-planned Fidayeen strike, its clinical precision leaving eight dead.
Forty-eight hours later, Uttar Pradesh police has detained several people, including two CRPF constables. And that is the most worrying for investigators, because it could mean that the enemy is within.
“STF and ATS is investigating the case but we can't share the details now,” said Brij Lal, ADG, Law and Order.
Investigating agencies are not ruling out the role of an insider in the whole exercise.
Sources within the Special Task Force have told CNN-IBN that the Fidayeen team got logistical support from Muradabad including a place to stay and a car and insiders provided details of the CRPF camp at Rampur including a map and even while escaping, the terrorists took the help of locals.
Some injured CRPF personnel had also pointed that one of the terrorists was wounded in the cross fire but a manhunt yielded no results.
Worse, the police still has no clue as to which group carried the attack.
Intelligence inputs indicate that in Uttar Pradesh more then 34 districts have a fertile ground for various terror cells.
That is evident from the repeated terror attacks in the state yet the state government chooses to tackle the menace with primitive policing.
