CHANDIGARH, May 19:

 

   In a major breakthrough amidst the ongoing drive to make Punjab a safe and secure state, Counter Intelligence (CI) Amritsar has busted a module backed by Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) with the arrest of two associates of foreign-based handlers and recovered two hand grenades from their possession, said Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav here on Tuesday.

 

   Those arrested have been identified as Ajay, a resident of Bazigar Mohalla in Ajnala, Amritsar and Jodhbir Singh, a resident of Fattewal Kalan in Amritsar. Apart from recovering hand grenades, police team has also impounded their black colored Hero Splendor Motorcycle bearing registration number PB02EK2107.

 

   DGP Gaurav Yadav said that preliminary investigation has revealed that the grenades recovered were part of a larger conspiracy aimed at targeting government institutions/infrastructure to disturb peace and law and order in Punjab.

 

   Sharing operational details, he said that police teams had received a reliable input about foreign-based handlers having provided hand grenades to their associates and directed them to coordinate with the another associate of the handler in the area of Loharka Road in Amritsar.

 

   Acting swiftly on this information, police teams laid Naka and intercepted suspects Ajay and Jodhbir Singh, he said, while adding that during their search, two hand grenades were recovered from their possession.

 

   The DGP said that further investigation is underway to establish forward and backward linkages in this case to identify other associates involved in the network.
