Jalandhar. Punjab Police has busted a Babbar Khalsa International (BKI)-backed terror module by arresting three of its operatives with arms and ammunition in Jalandhar. Their arrest has revealed the international linkage of the module, which was motivating the youth to carry out anti-national activities in the state.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Jagroop Singh alias Jagga, Sukhjit Singh alias Sukha, and Navpreet Singh alias Nav.
Additional Inspector General of Police, Navjot Singh Mahal, disclosed that 4 pistols with cartridges had been recovered from their possession. The module was being handled by a USA-based gangster, Gurpreet Singh, who, in connivance with a Pakistan-based terrorist and a Greece-based associate, was instrumental in inspiring the youth to commit crimes in Punjab.
An FIR has been registered at State Special Operation cell (SSOC) Amritsar and further investigations are underway to uncover additional connections. The seized weapons include a Glock 9mm pistol with a magazine and six cartridges, a PX5 Storm Beretta 30 bore pistol with a magazine and four bullets, and two country-made pistols with magazines and cartridges.
This is the second incident in as many days in which BKI operatives have been arrested. In a joint operation, Uttar Pradesh Police and Punjab Police arrested an active operative of Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), Lajar Masih, an Amritsar resident, from Kaushambi in UP, along with explosives, arms, and ammunition.
