Meanwhile, the arrests and IB inputs have led to filing of an FIR on December 1 that reveals chilling details of the widespread Fidayeen and grenade attacks which Dujana, the newly appointed Lashkar commander, was planning on not only the PM, but also several high profile dignitaries were also in the radar.
Here are step-by-step details of what is going on in the ongoing counter-terrorism operation:
