Two days ago, the men re -activated an old SIM card, bringing the police to their door. According to the police, the SIM was earlier in a phone that two terrorists took them on the tip of the gun on the night of 2 April, when they knocked on the family door demanding food.
Sources said that before he left, the fugitive had handed over the SIM card of the phone to the family. After the incident, the residents of the village filed a complaint with the police, inspiring forces to mark the SIM card as suspects and conduct a search operation in the area.
Meanwhile, the family went into Samba, where the SIM was active, they were brought to police notice, a police officer said that both were allowed to leave after an hour’s question.
