J&K DGP Dilbag Singh expressed hope in being able to achieve success with the case soon
The Jammu and Kashmir Police on January 17 claimed to have obtained vital clues to crack the Rajouri attack case, in which seven civilians were killed by militants in twin-attacks in a Hindu-majority Dangri hamlet on January 1-2.
“The area (of Dangri) is close to the forest and after frequent militant sightings, four-five unsuccessful operations have been launched. As far as investigation is concerned, we have got some solid clues and the arrests will be made soon. I hope that the success will be achieved soon,” J&K Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh said.

Even as 17 days have passed, the police are yet to name the militant outfit or the attackers who opened indiscriminate fire on the civilian population in Rajouri’s Dangri area.
Meanwhile, Mr. Singh said adequate measures are underway for peaceful Republic Day celebrations in J&K.
“The main character behind terrorism in J&K and other parts of the country from across the border is being exposed at the international level. Measures are being taken to tighten up the process against the involved people and notify them as terrorists. The profile of these persons is also being sent to the different organisations working against terrorism,” he said.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
