His comments have come a day after Lieutenant General Mahesh Senanayake, Commander of the Sri Lankan Army, claimed “they (the suspects) have gone to India, they’ve gone to Kashmir, they’ve travelled to Kerala state.” Singh said the army chief of Sri Lanka should send evidence, through diplomatic channels, and that he would look into it.

Some officials said that a dozen Sri Lankan nationals had come to Kashmir this year and their credentials have been re-checked.
