Three armed men allegedly snatched a civilian's car at gunpoint in Pathankot's Sujanpur area in Punjab this evening.
The car-jacking brought back memories of the January 1 night when men dressed in military fatigues had taken away an SUV belonging to a Punjab Police Officer.
The men were among six terrorists who struck hours later at the Pathankot airbase in the year's first terror attack that killed seven soldiers including a Lieutenant Colonel of the elite National Security Guard.
The police, however, said today's incident is not terror related. The men had stopped a car and asked for a lift near Sujanpur on Pathankot-Jammu highway around 7 pm.
The owner of the car has said that the three were carrying a country-made pistol and threatened him. They asked him to get out of the car and drove away in it.
The police has put up check points to catch the accused.
