New Delhi, Aug 18 (IBNS): With Pakistani terrorist Mohammad Naveed Yakub being subjected to a polygraph or lie detector test at a facility in south Delhi on Tuesday, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has released sketches of two terror suspects who allegedly entered India along with him.

The agency has also declared a cash reward of Rs. 5 lakh each for the absconding wanted in connection with the Udhampur terror attack case.

The NIA has named the terrorists as Abu Okasha, 17-18 years and a resident of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan, and Zargham or Mohammad Bhai, 38-40 years old and from the same area.

According to the agency, these absconders are the accomplices of Naveed who was caught alive and is accused of attacking the BSF convoy in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur on Aug 5.

Naveed had earlier told Indian investigators that he is from Faisalabad in Pakistan, but Islamabad has denied it.

According to Indian investigators, Naveed had confessed that he was trained by the Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar e Taiba.

Naveed allegedly entered India with a group of four terrorists from Tangmarg, and after over two months  in the Kashmir Valley, rode to Udhampur in three trucks.
