This correspondent met the D.S.P. Mange Ram, who led the police party involved in the encounter at Rattangarh village Monday evening, Asked how the police had established that the killed militants were responsible for the Tohana massacre.
He said, βThe Sarabjit Singh Patla group has been active in the Tohana belt. These militants were members of this group.βAsked to elaborate, he said the group comprised only 20 to 25 boys. The killers were from amongst these boys only. He did not give any other ground for claim.
The type of arms seized by the Haryana and Punjab police from the killed militants do not match with the kind of weapons used by the Tohana killers. The Haryana police seized one 315 gun and three 12-bore guns from them.
The Punjab police seized a 12bore pistol and a gun of the same caliber from the two militants who were killed on their territory. The empty shells seized from Tohana indicated that the killers had used AK 47 assault rifles.
The police has not so far seized any AK-47 rifles from the killed militants. The chocolate covered Maruti car used by the Tohana killers has not yet been seized. If the killers had used it as a get-away vehicle to reach this village where did they hide the car?
DGP Kalvan Rucra had claimed at Chandigarh Sunday that the police had been on the trail of Tohana killers for three days and they were tracked to Kamaia village, 2 km from here, where two of the five militants were shot.
However DSP Mange Ram and A S Badan Singh, in charge of the police post at Mehamira village near here, said the combing, operation was routine affair which began around 6 a.m., on Sunday.
