Terrorist infiltration in Indian Army

The soldiers were  identified as Lance Naik Mohammad Shakeel and Sepoy Abdul Haq . The arrested policemen – Sikander and Kabir – had been working for LeT for the past three years. They had been in the police for just five years.

Intelligence arrested two soldiers based on  a tip-off that they had been contacted by Pakistani national Abu Osama, who is LeT’s divisional commander for the Jammu region. The preliminary interrogation report, sources said, reveals the two were contacted by Abu Osama to deliver money to LeT men.

The jawans are believed to have links with a LeT field commander responsible for organising attacks in the border districts of Poonch and Rajouri.The soldiers were allegedly asked to arrange for SIM cards, batteries and pencil cells, and to deliver letters to other LeT field commanders and operatives. 
 
The Army Headquarters in New Delhi, however, downplayed the incident, saying that it was not a case of terrorists infiltrating its ranks.

Given the likelihood of terrorist infiltration in the Army, a central intelligence agency has suggested that the defence ministry and Union home ministry order a thorough screening of the forces.

Terrorists infiltration is suspected in the police and paramilitary forces also.
