How A Phone Call Led To Arrest Of J&K Cop Davinder Singh & Two Hizbul Terrorists theprint.in

It was an innocuous phone call made by self-styled Hizbul Mujahideen commander Naveed Babu’s brother, talking about a trip to Jammu along with a “policeman” that sent the south Kashmir police into a tizzy early last month, ThePrint has learnt. The phone call eventually led to the arrest of Srinagar airport deputy superintendent of police Davinder Singh and two Hizbul terrorists last month, besides another “key player” Irfan Ahmad Mir, a lawyer. Highly-placed sources in the security establishment told ThePrint that when Shopian superintendent of police alerted the DIG of south Kashmir about the phone call interception, it was felt that the “policeman” could either be a constable or a head constable.
