Two accused who were allegedly given the task to kill rival gang members were arrested by the Punjab Police. As per the Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav’s statement, the arrested were to carry out targeted killings of rival gang members in the state by their handlers based abroad.
This was part of a larger conspiracy to spread terror and unrest in the state, DGP cited.
"In a major breakthrough, Gurdaspur Police arrests two accused — Lovedeep Singh @ Love and Tek Chand @ Tinku — who are being handled by foreign-based radicalised gangsters Gurdev Jassal and Gurlal @ Gullu associated with Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist organisation.
"Preliminary probe reveals that the duo is tasked by their foreign handlers... to carry out targeted killings of rival gang members in #Punjab as part of a larger conspiracy to spread terror and unrest in the state," Yadav said in a post on X.
Police recovered three .32 calibre pistols with live cartridges from the accused. Further investigation is underway to trace their network and establish forward and backward linkages, the DGP Gaurav said.
