Five members of Pakistan’s Joint Investigation Team (JIT) have applied for visas to travel to India, Times of India reported on Tuesday.
The team members are expected to go to the Pathankot air base to study the area of the attack and question several witnesses regarding the terrorist attack in January.
According to the report, senior Indian officials confirmed the Pakistan officials had applied for visas, a development that has been awaited for some time. It is expected that Indian and Pakistan foreign secretaries would hold their aborted dialogue in April after the team has visited India. Indian officials are preparing to question the Pakistan officials about the current state of investigations in Pakistan, said the report.
The Pakistan team is led by the additional inspector general of counter terrorism of Punjab province, while the others in the team are Col. Tanvir, Col. Irfaan Mirza, Azeem Arshad and Shahid Tanvir.
