Militants threaten cell phone store staff for their missing device

Sources told IBNS that on May 1 some unknown gunmen raided cellular shops in the town and inquired about the missing equipment which was installed by the militants on a cellular tower at Badambagh in Sopore where the 22RR Army camp is also located.

The device must have been installed by some expert who is either a militant or working with the militants, said the sources.

A lot of the communication among militants is on Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) and over Skype. For this they need internet facility.

 A senior security officer posted in the area told IBNS, “Some local boys are involved in this case as they got instructions from higher militant commanders to install the hi-tech communication device  on towers in the town making it difficult for security agencies to detect them."

 “It is not new for security agencies to track down all 'hi-tech communication device' from the cellular towers installed by militants, we are on job to nab thems”, another officer said.  

 Meanwhile, Deputy Inspector General of North Kashmir, Gareeb Dass, told IBNS that police have receive unofficial information from sources that armed men raided cellular offices in Sopore after they found their device missing.

 “We have started the investigation into the matter and hopefully we  will crack the case very soon”, he said.
