NEW DELHI: Grenades and ammunition made in Pakistan were among the items recovered from the site of the Maoist attack in Jharkhand, sources said, adding a fresh twist to the ongoing India-Pakistan stand-off.
Sources said a couple of grenades, pieces of blasted grenades and fired cases of bullets recovered from Latehar in Jharkhand have clear markings to show that they were manufactured in Pakistan. All ammunition contain details of the originating country, so do all the recovered ammunition from Latehar, where 11 CRPF jawans were killed and their bodies booby trapped with explosives.
It is for the first time that ammunition with Pakistani markings have been recovered from Maoists. In the past, some Chinese ammunition have been recovered.
The attack is being described by senior officials on the ground as one of the most gruesome Maoist attacks. After killing CRPF jawans, their bodies were tied with IEDs, and when one body was picked, it blew up to injure those who came to recover the bodies. Later, it was found that Maoists had surgically planted IEDs inside the dead body of a jawan as well.
The recovery of arms with Pakistani markings will add fresh pressure on the government in light of the beheading and mutilation of Indian soldiers in Jammu's Mendhar sector by Pakistani troops. For the past several months, evidence has been mounting of Maoists getting ammunition supply from Pakistan and China, sources said. But it is not clear if there is any credible evidence of Maoists enjoying any direct contacts with the agencies of the two countries.
However, it also raises questions if Pakistani security establishment has extended its reach beyond the Kashmiri groups to establish contacts with Maoists and foment the low cost war into the heart of India.
