An alert was sounded by J&K Police in and around the Vaishnodevi Shrine in Trikuta hills on Saturday, including its base camp Katra town, following the sighting of two suspects in army uniform at Domail on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway.

An army uniform, along with a pair of shoes, were found abandoned at Domail late Friday evening after a local shopkeeper informed SHO Jhajjar Kotli about the sighting.

As senior police officers from both Jammu and Reasi districts reached the spot, the shopkeeper said that he saw two people carrying rucksacks abandon the army uniform and change into civilian clothes behind bushes. Both appeared to be in a hurry and boarded a Katra-bound bus, the shopkeeper told the police.
