Indian Army spokesman colonel V.K. Mathur informed the Indian press that Pasang Lama, who the Indian Army claimed to be a Nepali Maoist leader, was arrested with Muhammad Yunus from one of the largest terrorist outfits operating in Jammu and Kashmir, Laskar -E-Toiba. Lama was purchasing weapons from Yunus worth Rs. 500,000 at Rafiyabad of Barmulla in Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army claimed. Mathur said, "Pasang Lama was at Barmulla district to deal with Laskar-E-Toiba. He was arrested from Binar village. According to our investigation, it has been revealed that Nepal's Maoists have links with the terrorist group—Laskar-E." Mathur, however, had no concrete evidence whether Lama was a Nepali Maoist leader or not. According to sources at the Indian police, Lama, currently under security detention, had a cheque worth Rs. 277,000 for the first phase of a weapon purchase. "Preliminary investigations showed that Lama has come to Kashmir time and again in the past five years as a businessman dealing in Pashmina shawls. He has admitted that he has links with the terrorists." The police said Lama, hailing from Humla, was "involved in taking weapons back and forth between the ISI of Pakistan, Nepali Maoists and rebels in northeast India." Lama used to stay in Laxminagar in New Delhi and for the past three months was in Kashmir, Mathur said.
