The Punjab Police on Thursday busted a terror module of Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) with the arrest of two persons from Jalandhar. An RDX-fitted improvised explosive device and a remote control seized from them. The two operatives have been identified as Gurjinder Singh and Diwan Singh.
DGP Gaurav Yadav stated in a post on X that the improvised explosive device (IED) was meant to trigger a targeted terror attack.
“In a major breakthrough against Pakistan’s ISI-backed terror network, the Counter Intelligence, Jalandhar busts a Babbar Khalsa International terror module operated by UK-based handlers Nishan Jaurian and Adesh Jamarai on the directions of BKI mastermind Harwinder Singh Rinda and recovers 2.5 kg IED/RDX and one remote control,” the DGP said.
