New Delhi: A day after CNN-News18 aired a sting operation on a police officer in PoK confirming surgical strikes carried out by the Indian Army, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has said the Centre need not provide any further evidence.
Speaking at a felicitation function in Agra on Thursday, Parrikar lauded the way CNN-News18 journalist Manoj Gupta pretended to be a Pakistani Inspector General of Police and recorded the SP of Mirpur talk about the surgical strikes which took place on September 29, something which Pakistan has so far been vehemently denying.WATCH: Pakistan's Denial Over Surgical Strikes Exposed
“I am happy that a TV channel worked as a detective and spoke to SP of Mirpur range in PoK,” Parrikar said. “No more proof is needed. The media has given enough proof.”
In the telephonic conversation with CNN-News18’s Manoj Gupta, Ghulam Akbar, SP of Mirpur range in PoK, admitted that surgical strikes took place in the early hours of September 29.LISTEN IN: The Telephone Conversation That Exposed Pakistan
Under the impression that he was speaking to his superior IG Mushtaq, Ghulam Akbar, SP (Special Branch) of the Mirpur Range in PoK, revealed details about the strike. He further claimed that the bodies of terrorists were also removed by Pakistan’s military.
The SP also said the Pakistani Army took away the dead bodies in ambulances, adding that they may have been buried in villages. Akbar also claimed that five Pakistani Army men had died, which contradicts Pakistan's claim that two soldiers died in cross-firing.
