National Security Adviser alerts state governments LeT cadre could have infiltrated the armed forces.
New Delhi: National Security Adviser M K Narayanan has alerted state governments that Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba cadre could have infiltrated the armed forces and two of them could have made their way into the Indian Air Force (IAF).
Hours after the alert was made public, the Indian Air Force on Friday said it had carried out elaborate vetting process of its personnel and had not found any infiltration.
"We have scanned the system and haven't found any (infiltration)," IAF spokesman Wing Commander Mahesh Upasni said.
"Such scans will be repeated," he said. Defence ministry sources said the alert had been received in September last year.
Upasni said IAF did not discuss intelligence inputs in public domain.
