Pathankot attacks: Interpol issues red corner notice against Maulana Masood Azhar

Tightening its claws around the neck of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Maulana Masood Azhar and his brother Abdul Rauf, the International Police Association (Interpol) on Tuesday issued a Red Corner notice against both of them. Azhar has been accused of main conspirator behind Pathankot attacks.

Earlier, securing an arrest warrant from a special court, the National Investigative Agency (NIA) had recently approached the Interpol for issuing a Red Corner Notice against Azhar and three others.  

A dossier along with the NBW issued by a special NIA court in Mohali in Punjab was reportedly sent to the investigating agency, which is the nodal agency representing the Interpol in the country.

As per reports, the NIA had sought warrant against 47-year-old Azhar, his brother Abdul Rauf, Kashif Jan and Shahid Latif, two handlers of JeM terrorists who had infiltrated into India through Bamiyal sector of Punjab in the wee hours of December 30 to launch the terror assault.
