Tensions ran high in Amritsar as Punjab Police unraveled a Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terror cell, arresting an operative loaded with a hand grenade, cutting-edge pistol, and rounds of ammunition. The Republic Day-eve swoop by the State Special Operations Cell neutralized an imminent threat to a key security outpost.
Taking to X, DGP Gaurav Yadav lauded the operation’s precision, noting its critical timing just before national festivities. The detainee followed commands from fugitive handlers Nishan Jaurian, Adesh Jamrai, and Simma Deol operating from foreign soil.
An immediate FIR was filed under applicable laws at SSOC Amritsar, with relentless inquiries set to expose accomplices and supply chains. This mirrors Wednesday’s Gurdaspur action, capturing an arms trafficker with five advanced guns meant for gangsters, per overseas directives.
Punjab Police vows zero tolerance for organized crime, pledging sustained efforts to secure peace province-wide. As intelligence fuses with ground action, these victories disrupt terror momentum, ensuring safer Republic Day parades and reinforcing the narrative of resilience against extremism.
Experts view these arrests as pivotal in a broader campaign against Khalistani revivalism, urging sustained border vigilance and digital surveillance to preempt future perils.
