CHANDIGARH: Punjab police today claimed to have busted a third terror module within a fortnight after arresting three persons who were allegedly trained by Pakistan’s ISI and tasked to carry out attacks in the country.
The accused Gurdial Singh, Jagroop Singh and Satwinder Singh were arrested yesterday. They were directly linked to the International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF), an ISI-backed outfit.
“They were trained by the ISI and tasked to carry out terror attacks and target various ‘anti-panthic and anti-Sikh forces/individuals’ by Pakistan-based ISYF chief Lakhbir Rode, and Harmeet Singh alias Happy alias PHD,” a Punjab police spokesperson said.
He said that the “major breakthrough” was achieved by the security forces, who were maintaining vigil on the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of Operation Bluestar (a military operation carried out to flush out terrorists holed up in the Golden Temple in 1984). (AGENCIES)
