Pathankot attack: India asks Pak to inform about JIT visit 5 days in advance

NEW DELHI: India has asked Pakistan to inform it at least five days in advance about the visit by its Joint Investigation Team (JIT) here in connection with the Pathankot terror attack, official sources said.

Pakistan has formed a five-member JIT to probe the Pathankot terror attack and it is expected to arrive in the country soon.

On Wednesday, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s Foreign Affairs Advisor Sartaj Aziz had said the team may visit India in the next few days.

Earlier, a six-member SIT was set up by the Pakistan government for conducting an initial probe into the January 2 attack based on the leads given by India.

India had said Masood Azhar, head of Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed, masterminded the attack and sought action against him and other perpetrators. (AGENCIES)
