Jammu and Kashmir Police, while giving details about the slain, said that "as per the material evidence collected during the course of the investigation, it was learned that Maruti Eco vehicle used for carrying out the blast in Lethpora was owned by one Sajad Bhat of Marhama.

VBIED attacks

Monday's Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) attack in Pulwama was third of such nature. First, on February 14, a Maruti ECO car was used by a local Jaish terrorist to target security forces convoy which resulted in the killing of over 40 CRPF men. The incident triggered tension in the sub-continent as both India and Pakistan indulged in a dogfight.&nbsp;

After Pulwama, yet another suicide attack was attempted in Banihal area in Ramban district on a CRPF convoy which was moving towards Jammu. According to sources, the attacker, at the final moment, changed his mind and left the car. The vehicle blasted without causing any major damage. Police later arrested the terrorist and his other associates in Kashmir.&nbsp;

Arihal VBIED attack was the third such incident in J&amp;K. This has raised an alarm in the security establishment, who were successful in minimizing collateral damage in the encounters.&nbsp;
