Chandigarh/Ludhiana, November 8 — Two men, including one allegedly linked to the banned Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF), were arrested on Saturday for allegedly procuring illegal weapons from across the border to execute crimes in Punjab, police said.
Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav identified one of the accused as Bikramjit Singh, who, according to officials, has a criminal history with cases registered under the Explosives Act, Arms Act, and attempt to murder. “Bikramjit Singh is associated with the terrorist organisation Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) and was involved in the 2018 grenade attack on a religious place at Raja Sansi,” Yadav said in a post on X.
Police said preliminary investigation suggested that the duo were acting on the directions of their foreign handlers and had arranged arms from across the international border to carry out “sensational crimes” in the state.
