Police on Sunday denied media reports in Kumbhnagar that three suspected terrorists were taken into custody from Kumbh village by security officials.
Allahabad SSP Pramod Tiwari told PTI that one Jamaluddin who was nabbed earlier was let off later after intelligence sleuths could not establish his involvement in any untoward activity in the town. He said intelligence personnel’s of the central and state government agencies had carried out combing operations for the past three months before commencement of Kumbh Mela to make security arrangements fool-proof.
Meanwhile, security has been beefed up in the town to keep a close watch on movements of anti-social elements, he added.
