Highly radicalised operative arrested, two hand grenades recovered, he says
Punjab Director General of Police Dinkar Gupta on Tuesday said a terrorist attack has been thwarted with the arrest of Saroop Singh, a highly radicalised operative, linked to foreign-based terrorist entities. “The accused was apprehended by the Tarn Taran police on suspicion at a checkpoint on the Amritsar-Harike road on Monday [August 30]. Two live Chinese-made P-86 mark hand grenades were recovered from him,” he stated. The development came at a time when Punjab has been witnessing a huge influx of grenades and RDX-laden tiffin boxes and other arms and ammunition, signalling major attempts made by terrorist leaders and anti-national elements based abroad to disturb peace and communal harmony in the border State.
