India Gives Dossier on JeM Role in Pulwama Attack to Pakistan
The dossier also detailed the presence of camps of the UN-proscribed terror outfit in that country.
On Wednesday, 27 February, India handed over a dossier to Pakistan on the "specific details" of the involvement of the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) in the Pulwama terror attack.
The JeM had taken the responsibility of the terror strike in Kashmir's Pulwama district on 14 February, in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed.
The dossier was handed over to the Acting High Commissioner of Pakistan, who was summoned by the Ministry of External Affairs to lodge a strong protest over Pakistan Air Force targeting Indian military installations, a day after the Indian counter-terror action against the JeM.
Government sources have claimed that over 350 JeM terrorists were killed in the pre-dawn strike on the terror camps in Pakistan on Tuesday, 26 February.
"A dossier was handed over to Pakistani side with specific details of JeM complicity in Pulwama terror attack and the presence of JeM terror camps and its leadership in Pakistan," it said.
