“I’ll be killed. The Lashkar is after us and the fauj is after us,” Mohammad Yakub told Hindustan Times in chaste Punjabi when contacted on a phone number disclosed to interrogators by the arrested gunman Mohammad Naveed.

“You are calling from India. We’ll be killed. I am the unfortunate father,” said Yakub, who sounded flustered when he answered the call from HT.

“The Lashkar is after us. They probably wanted him dead and not caught alive. Please spare him,” Yakub said, referring to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), the Pakistan-based militant group behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks.The call was made at 1.22 pm and lasted a minute and 20 seconds before a frightened Yakub hung up. The phone has been switched off since then.

Naveed, who also goes by the name Usman Khan, was caught by villagers on Wednesday, hours after he and an accomplice ambushed a Border Security Force truck, killing two troopers. He told interrogators that he came from Pakistan to “kill Hindus” and that “it’s fun doing this”.

Naveed also told his interrogators that he belonged to the LeT.Pakistan has said Naveed is not its citizen, but Indian authorities dismissed that claim on Thursday.“We have seen media reports and cannot respond on that basis. We expect the Indian authorities to share information on claims being made in the media,” a Pakistan foreign office spokesperson said.
