"The JIT's modus operandi and modalities have been agreed between the Indo-Pak authorities," said a senior member of the JIT.
The Pakistani authorities conveyed to India that the JIT is of the opinion that it requires a minimum seven-day stay there to carry forward the investigation.

The JIT will meet witnesses to record their statements and would also call on Indian investigation officers who already carried out the investigation for sharing information. The JIT will examine the arms used by the terrorists. It would also record statements of the victims of the terrorist attack and would prepare a memo of the tragedy. India agreed with all the modalities and gave a green signal to Pak authorities. Officers from various security agencies would be part of the team.
