New Delhi: Jaimal Singh, the driver of the ill-fated bus that was blown up by a suicide bomber in Pulwama on February 14, 2019, wasn't even supposed to drive that day and was merely substituting for another colleague, says a new book.
IPS officer Danesh Rana, who is currently an additional director general of police in Jammu and Kashmir, has come out with a definitive account of the Pulwama attack titled "As Far as the Saffron Fields" piecing together the conspiracy behind the strike that snuffed out the lives of 40 CRPF personnel.
Based upon personal interviews with the protagonists, police charge sheets and other evidence, Rana breaks down the modern face of militancy in Kashmir.
