In a first breakthrough in the Reasi terror attack case, the Jammu and Kashmir Police claimed to have arrested Hakam Din, a resident of the Bandrahi area of the Rajouri district, for acting as a guide and organizing logistics for a group of three foreign terrorists behind the attack.
In return, these foreign terrorists paid him a sum of Rs.6000 before heading to their safe hideout.
A total of nine pilgrims were killed and 41 others were injured in the terror attack which coincided with the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a third term in succession.
