Earlier, two BKI operatives were arrested for procuring and planting three grenades and one IED near Balachaur on the directions of their foreign-based handler. The same IED was later used in the blast at PS Nalagarh, Himachal Pradesh. The accused were also involved in procuring weapons and carrying out firing for extortion at a travel agent’s residence in Garshankar on directions of foreign handlers. During sustained investigation, the arrest of these two UP-based accused has revealed that they were acting at the behest of foreign-based criminals operating from #Germany and #USA, supplying weapons to criminal gangs in #Punjab. Preliminary investigation establishes strong linkages with foreign-based handlers orchestrating terror and criminal activities.Earlier arrests in the case had already exposed involvement of BKI operatives in explosives and extortion-related incidents. A case has been registered at PS #SSOC Amritsar. Further investigation is underway to dismantle the entire network.
