LUCKNOW:

Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav had claimed a UK link to the grenade attack on a police outpost in Gurdaspur on December 18.

The Terai region includes Pilibhit, Bareilly, Shahjahanpur, Lakhimpur Kheri and Badaun districts of UP.

As per UP police officials, privy to the probe, a UK-based Haryana youth identified as Siddhu had called two Pilibhit youths, Sunny and Manoj, on December 20 to arrange a hotel room for the three suspected militants gunned down in the encounter.

The youth's name has cropped up in UP ATS and NIA probe.
