Punjab Police said they have busted a Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terror module in Batala, allegedly supported by Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI, and arrested six members.
Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav said on Tuesday that the arrested men are Jatin Kumar alias Rohan, Barinder Singh alias Sajan, Rahul Masih, Abraham alias Rohit, Sohit, and Sunil Kumar.
According to Yadav, the group was behind a failed grenade attack outside a liquor shop in Batala last week.
The Punjab DGP said Jatin Kumar was injured in a gunfight during a recovery operation. “He opened fire on police and sustained injuries in retaliatory action, and is admitted in Civil Hospital, Batala,” he added.
A First Information Report (FIR) has been filed at the Civil Lines Police Station in Batala under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
