Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh/Amritsar, March 15-
In a major breakthrough amidst the ongoing drive to make Punjab a safe and secure state as per directions of CM Mann, Commissionerate Police Amritsar has busted a narco-terror module linked to the banned terrorist outfit BKI with the arrest of three key operatives from Bihar while they were attempting to flee to Nepal, said DGP Punjab Gaurav Yadav here on Saturday.
Those arrested have been identified as Karandeep Yadav (21), Mukesh Kumar (29) and Sajan Singh (24), all residents of Khandwala Chheharta in Amritsar. Police teams have also recovered three mobile phones and 700 Nepali currency notes from their possession.
The development came following meticulous investigations and sustained follow-up of backward and forward linkages in the arrest of Joban Singh alias Joban and Gurbaksh Singh alias Lala after recovering 290 grams heroin from their possession.
DGP Gaurav Yadav said that preliminary investigations have revealed that the arrested accused were working on the directions of Pakistan-based BKI mastermind Harwinder Rinda.
He said that the probe has revealed that arrested accused Karandeep Yadav had delivered the grenades and weapons that were recovered from Tarn Taran in January this year.
