Chandigarh: Punjab Police averted a possible terror attack by busting a terror module operated by Germany-based Gurpreet Singh, alias Goldy Dhillon, Punjab director general of police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav said here on Sunday. He added Dhillon's two operatives had been arrested.
Police also claimed to have seized a 2.8kg improvised explosive device (IED) containing 1.6kg RDX, along with a remote control from arrested accused Jagga Singh and Manjinder Singh, who have in the past been named in narcotics-related cases.
The DGP said, "The National Investigation Agency (NIA) declared a Rs 10 lakh reward on accused Goldy Dhillon, who is a key operative of the Goldy Brar-Lawrence Bishnoi gang."
The DGP said preliminary investigations also revealed that Dhillon was recently involved in conspiring attacks on influential persons and was working at the behest of Pakistan's ISI. Investigations are probing links to their transnational networks and involvement in anti-national activities, he said.
Ferozepur AIG (counter-intelligence) Gursevak Singh Brar said they had received inputs of the accused going to deliver to the consignment to their unknown associate in their Hyundai Venue car. "Police teams from CI Ferozepur and the state special operations cell (SSOC), Mohali, arrested both from Sirhind in Fatehgarh Sahib district and recovered the IED from their car," the AIG said. An FIR has been registered at SSOC police station in Mohali on April 11.
