A car was snatched at gunpoint by three youths today near Sujanpur, months after a similar act was carried out by suspected Pakistani terrorists before they attacked the air force base here.
According to SSP RK Bakshi, three youths, two of them reportedly Sikh, snatched a car at gunpoint from a person on the highway near Sujanpur here.
Barricades have been put and a search is on to nab the miscreants, he said.
Six terrorists, suspected to belong to the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muhammed outfit, had attacked the air force base on January 2. The strike had left seven security personnel dead with all six terrorists, too, being killed.
The terrorists had hijacked the vehicle of Punjab Police SP Salwinder Singh as they headed to the air force base.
