It is disturbing to note that police have allegedly unnecessarily kept three people for 'interrogation' in relation to the case of attack on constables at Ashulia Checkpoint.

Cops and intelligence agencies need to be more professional and competent. And that would be possible only through depoliticisation of these institutions. Fighting terrorism is a tricky battle, which must be fought both intellectually and professionally – not by hatching conspiracy theories.

IS claims responsibility for attack on police checkpost at Ashulia that left a constable dead, US-based SITE Intelligence Group says.
