Authorities in Delhi have dismantled a cross-border intrigue aimed at disrupting Republic Day peace through inflammatory wall writings. The arrests of Baljinder and Rohit alias Keerath by elite police units mark a decisive win against elements bent on provocation.
The men are accused of etching ‘Khalistan Zindabad’ and similar pro-separatist graffiti at distinct sites, a ploy traced back to Khalistani hardliner Gurpatwant Singh Pannun in Canada. Enticed by a Rs 2 lakh bounty from Pannun’s proxy, the duo sought to inflame sentiments and strain security ahead of the national event.
Background checks show Baljinder’s ambulance driver role and Rohit’s partnership facilitated seamless execution. Building on a January 23 FIR under key BNS clauses for conspiracy and integrity threats, the action stemmed from Pannun’s viral clip touting poster campaigns by sleeper cells in Rohini and Dabri.
Ongoing probes hint at broader involvement, with hunts for associates in full swing. This operation exemplifies Delhi Police’s sharpened focus on preempting hybrid threats from abroad. In a nation celebrating unity, such resolute steps fortify defenses, keeping the tricolor flying high unmarred.
