National Investigation Agency sources have confirmed that they are likely to make more arrests in connection with the recent Udhampur terror strike case.

NIA sources told ANI on condition of anonymity that people who had given shelter to captured Pakistani terrorist Naved have been identified, and arrests would be made.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday took over the case of yesterday's Udhampur terror strike, with India saying that the attack was aimed at derailing peace in Jammu and Kashmir.

In the Udhampur attack, two heavily-armed terrorists believed to be from Pakistan ambushed a convoy of BSF personnel and opened fire. Two BSF constables and a militant were killed.

Naved was caught alive in a manner identical to the nabbing of 26/11 attacker Ajmal Kasab.
