Punjab Police Bust Terror Modules
Punjab Police stopped two terror groups before Republic Day.
They caught six people from a group called Babbar Khalsa International (BKI).
The police found weapons, explosives, and drugs.
The people who were caught were working with others who live in the USA.
The police think these groups wanted to cause trouble and fear in Punjab.
They are still investigating to find out more.
Punjab Police arrested six BKI operatives and seized a cache of arms and ammunition.
The arrests were made ahead of Republic Day to prevent imminent terror attacks.
One module was operating under the direction of USA-based BKI handlers.
A P-86 hand grenade, a 9 mm Glock pistol, and an RDX-based IED were seized.
The arrested operatives were identified as Sharanpreet Singh, Diljot Singh Saini, Harman alias Harry, Ajay alias Mehra, and Arshdeep Singh alias Arsh Kandola.
