Intel picked up JeM chatter this week

New Delhi, May 28

Grade-A intelligence input and seamless coordination allowed security forces to thwart a repeat of Pulwama.

Sources in the Intelligence Bureau (IB) said they had picked up Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chatter earlier this week and shared it with Jamp;K Police and other agencies.

"It was clear from the intercepted chatter that the JeM was planning something very big in the Valley. The intelligence was found to be Grade-A (high precision) in nature and hence the operation was so meticulous," a senior IB official explained.

While there were clear inputs about a major attack, it was unclear which route the driver would take, the official said. "But the Jamp;K Police, Army and the CRPF formed separate teams, spread out and covered all possible routes and when the car was first spotted, they opened fire in coordinated manner," said the official. — TNS
