January 14, 2016 01:42

Three students were today taken into custody in Pakistan in connection with the Pathankot attack after India provided cell phone numbers of the suspects, bringing the total number of the arrests in the case to 31.

"The agencies have picked up Usman Sarwar, a Lahore University of Management Sciences student, a Sahiwal district institution student Saad Mughal and Kashif Jan of Karachi University," Pakistani media reported today.

The intelligence agencies reportedly picked up the three students on the cell phone numbers provided by the Indian authorities.

Earlier, the Pakistani authorities had dismissed that the cell phone numbers from whom the calls were allegedly made from Pakistan were "unregistered".

"The agencies are investigating the alleged links of the three students with Jaish-e-Muhammad," an official said.
