New Delhi: Naveed Yakub, the suspect in Udhampur terror attack is reportedly missing his family and has requested the authorities to connect him to them through phone.
Yakub, a Lashkar-e-Toiba trainned Pakistani suspect has been lodged in Jammu prison. He has submitted an application to the Special Court giving two phone numbers requesting the judge to allow him to speak to his family.
“The court has marked the application to the Jammu jail administration for action,” reports a national daily quoting an NIA official.
However, the numbers provided by Naveed are either switched off or not reachable.
“It is highly unlikely that any of the numbers provided by Naveed would be active as the Pakistani spy agency has mounted a huge effort to wipe out his Faisalabad connection,” the official further added.
Initially he used to weep in jail while remembering his family, but later calmed down, report states.
Naveed, who is in his 20s, has two brothers and a sister.
