Punjab: Punjab police on Saturday claimed to have busted a narco terror module linked to Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) And arrested three key operatives from Bihar while they were attempting to flee to Nepal.
Official sources from police said that the suspect is linked with the early morning grenade attack at Thakurdwara Temple in Amritsar.
Amritsar Commissioner GPS Bhullar said, “We had arrested three people with a commercial quantity of heroin from Bihar. During their interrogation and investigation, it came to light that this whole network was being run by a person named Karandeep Yadav… We have arrested him (Karandeep Yadav) along with two other people, Sajan Singh and Mukesh Kumar Yadav. These people have links with Babbar Khalsa. And I hope that there are many things which will come to light after their arrest, forensic science will give its report on this…”
He further said that there is too much pressure on Pakistan smugglers and ISI since there is a war against drugs in Punjab.
“Earlier also they tried but Punjab Police did not allow them to succeed. We assume that there is a linkage with the grenade attack at Thakurdwara Temple because the accused belongs to the area where the incident took place,” Amritsar Commissioner said.
The three accused were arrested on Friday afternoon, hours before a grenade was lobbed at Thakurdwara Temple in Khandwala in Amritsar.
In a post on X, DGP Punjab Police said, “In a major breakthrough, Commissionerate Police Amritsar has busted a narco-terror module linked to BKI, by arresting three key operatives from Bihar while they attempted to flee to Nepal. In an intelligence based operation, three accused persons have been apprehended from Police Station Kumarkhand, Madhepura, Bihar.”
These individuals had earlier delivered grenades and arms recovered in a recent operation. Arrested persons resided in Amritsar’s Khandwala and Chehartta areas, and are being brought back for further interrogation. Punjab Police is working tirelessly to maintain peace and harmony in the state,” DGP Punjab Police said.
