Amritsar, April 30 — In a major breakthrough against ISI-backed terror networks, the Amritsar Commissionerate Police apprehended five operatives linked to the foreign-based Jiwan Fauji-led Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) module.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Naresh Kumar alias Babbu, Abhinav Bhagat alias Abhi, Ajay Kumar alias Ajju, Sunny Kumar, and one juvenile.
According to officials, the accused were actively planning to target police establishments in Amritsar using grenades. “This was a critical operation to prevent a serious terror strike. Their objective was to cause chaos and undermine law enforcement morale,” a police spokesperson mentioned.
During a follow-up recovery operation, accused Ajay Kumar attempted to escape custody by snatching a service weapon and opening fire at the police team.
He was injured in a brief exchange of fire and is currently receiving medical treatment.
The police recovered one grenade and a pistol from the possession of the accused. A case has been registered at Police Station Islamabad, and further investigation is underway to identify and dismantle the entire network.
“The Punjab Police remains resolute in its commitment to crush terror modules and maintain peace and harmony in the region,” an official from @PunjabPoliceInd noted.
