Gurdaspur SP Salwinder Singh, his cook Madan Gopal and jeweller Rajesh Verrma reach NIA office.

The Pakistan Joint Investigation Team will be given access to the Punjab Police officer who was allegedly abducted by the terrorists along with his jeweller friend and cook on January 1. The terrorists had used the hijacked vehicle to reach the air base.

NIA chief Sharad Kumar said yesterday that the JIT may be given access to witnesses in connection with the attack, in which seven security personnel were killed in the 80-hour operation to flush out the six terrorists.

The evidence India has shared includes phone call intercepts and statements of witnesses. The Pakistani team, which includes a member of its Inter-Services Intelligence or ISI, has also been allowed access to the air base -- retracing the steps of the terrorists and visiting the area where the 80-hour gun-battle with them had taken place.

Pakistan has not contradicted the evidence India presented earlier this week regarding the way the terrorists had infiltrated into India and the group they belong to.
