(File Photo)The police in Punjab’s Batala claimed to have busted a Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terror module, allegedly backed by Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence, and arrested six of its operatives.
Gaurav Yadav, Director General of Police, Punjab, said Tuesday they arrested the six BKI operatives identified as Jatin Kumar alias Rohan, Barinder Singh alias Sajan, Rahul Masih, Abraham alias Rohit, Sohit, and Sunil Kumar.
According to Yadav, the module was involved in a failed grenade attack outside a liquor shop in Batala last week.
“The arrested accused were receiving direct instructions from #Portugal-based Maninder Billa & BKI mastermind Mannu Agwan, who has recently assumed operational charge after the arrest of Happy Passian in the #USA,” Yadav said in a post on X.
