The Counter Intelligence wing of Punjab Police, in close coordination with the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), Gujarat, has succeeded in busting an ISI-backed terror module being operated by Pakistan Intelligence Operatives (PIOs) by arresting its key operative amongst three with Hand Grenades and a sophisticated pistol. All three accused belonged to the border districts of Amritsar and Tarn Taran.
Director General of Punjab Police, Gaurav Yadav said that the 2 seized grenades are bearing the markings of the Pakistan Ordnance Factory (POF), which clearly indicates cross-border linkages of the module.
The DGP said that preliminary investigation has revealed that the module was involved in systematic targeting of police establishments across multiple states, which has now been successfully averted. Efforts are ongoing to identify, track, and apprehend other members of the module.
