The journey of the three terrorists aged between 16 and 19 to carry out the audacious twin terror attacks in Jammu region began from Haria Chak nursery in village Jhandi where Roshanlal, who runs an auto rickshaw load carrier to transport vegetables, had his first brush with them.
Details of the movement of the three heavily armed terrorists were given by a police official after initial investigations.
The three terrorists spoke in chaste Urdu and their shoes had fresh mud stuck to it indicating that they had crossed over barely an hour before they met the driver.
Unaware what the intentions of the three men were, Roshanlal was reluctant to drive them to the Army camp for which he was beaten up.
Then suddenly one of them, who seemed to be a team leader, asked him to take them towards the national highway.
After taking a round of the area, the terrorists spotted two policemen and enquired from Roshanlal whether there was a police station nearby.
The hapless driver ferried them to the police station but he quickly jumped out of the moving vehicle when the terrorists began loading magazines on their assault rifles.
