Post-mortem was conducted today on three terrorists who had stormed a police station here on Monday and were gunned down by Punjab Police personnel during a day-long operation.
"Post-mortem was being conducted at Gurdaspur civil hospital here," Gurdaspur Deputy Commissioner Abhinav Trikha said.
The process, which took about five hours, was conducted by three panels of doctors, each consisting of as many doctors.
Initially, the doctors were "reluctant" to conduct the autopsies on the bodies of terrorists as they were not aware of the "procedure" to be followed in case of terrorists.
"Surgeons were a bit reluctant initially as they have never conducted post-mortem on the bodies of terrorists. They had some technical issues. But the issue was resolved later when their queries were addressed," Gurdaspur, Civil Surgeon, Dr Rajnish Sood said.
To a question on post-mortem reports, Sood said it could take at least 8-10 days.
The post-mortem was conducted amid tight security at the hospital and in nearby areas.
The terrorists had Monday attacked passengers in a moving bus and stormed a police station, killing seven people, including an SP.
All the terrorists were gunned down after a day-long operation by Punjab Police and elite commandos of the Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT).
