12 out of 14 picked up in J&K
released after questioning

Twelve out of the 14 people picked up by the Jammu and Kashmir police in the wake of the terrorist attack on Parliament on December 13 have been released.

The hunt, however, for three persons, including Tariq, the conduit between Jaish-e-Mohammad and the terrorists who planned the December 13 strike, is still on.

A senior police officer said all the arrested, except Afzal and Shoukat, who have been taken to New Delhi, have been released.

"We have released almost all the persons picked up for questioning in connection with the attack on Parliament after detailed questioning did not prove their involvement in any way," Deputy Inspector General of Police S P Vaid told PTI.

The police had picked up 14 people, mostly from Baramulla and Srinagar.
