Ahead of Republic Day, Punjab Police executed a daring raid in Amritsar, busting a Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) module and nabbing an operative armed with a hand grenade, state-of-the-art pistol, and heavy ammunition stockpile. The State Special Operations Cell’s intervention forestalled a grave assault on a security facility.
DGP Gaurav Yadav detailed the success on X, crediting sharp intelligence that led to the preemptive strike. The accused operated under the remote guidance of handlers Nishan Jaurian, Adesh Jamrai, and Simma Deol from abroad.
FIR proceedings launched at SSOC Amritsar promise thorough scrutiny of the terror web. Paralleling this, Gurdaspur forces earlier seized five modern weapons from a cross-border smuggler supplying gangsters on foreign behest, with cases registered under arms laws.
Reiterating resolve, Yadav stated Punjab Police’s focus on obliterating crime syndicates to foster a secure environment. These sequential operations exemplify a multi-pronged strategy blending human intel, tech, and rapid response, critical as the state gears up for patriotic events.
The seizures spotlight vulnerabilities in illicit arms trade, advocating for fortified international partnerships to curb handler influences and protect Punjab’s hard-won peace.
