Punjab Police has averted a possible targeted terror attack in the border state by busting a terror module being operated by Germany-based Gurpreet Singh alias Goldy Dhillon with the arrest of its two key operatives and recovered one 2.8 Kg IED containing 1.6 Kg RDX along with a remote control from their possession, said DGP Gaurav Yadav here on Sunday. The operation was conducted jointly by teams of Counter Intelligence Ferozepur and State Special Operating cell, SAS Nagar.
Those arrested have been identified as Jagga Singh and Manjinder Singh, both resident of District Fatehgarh Sahib. Both the arrested individuals have a criminal history and were previously involved in multiple narcotics-related cases.
DGP said that NIA has declared Rs 10 lakh reward on accused Goldy Dhillon, who is a key operative of Goldy Brar-Lawrence Bishnoi Gang. “With busting of this module, Punjab Police has successfully foiled plans of Pakistan-based ISI to disturb peace and harmony in the region,” he said.
