In a major breakthrough, Counter Intelligence, Jalandhar, has foiled a target killing plot in Punjab by arresting three members of a Babbar Khalsa International (BKI)-backed terror module (a Khalistani militant organisation). The arrested individuals have been identified as Jagroop Singh alias Jagga, Sukhjit Singh alias Sukha, and Navpreet Singh alias Nav. Authorities also recovered four sophisticated weapons along with ammunition.
Terror module linked to international handlers.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the module was being directed by USA-based gangster Gurpreet Singh alias Gopi Nawashehria, a close aide of Pakistan-based terrorist Harwinder Singh Rinda. Another associate, Laadi Bakapuria, is believed to be operating from Greece.
A case has been registered at the State Special Operations Cell (SSOC) in Amritsar. Further investigations are ongoing to trace the network’s backward and forward linkages and dismantle its operations.
