Chandigarh, Oct 21
In an intelligence-based operation, Punjab Police, in coordination with central agencies, apprehended two terror operatives Mehakdeep Singh and Aditya from Amritsar and recovered one rocket-propelled grenade, said Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav on Tuesday.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the accused were in contact with Pakistan's ISI operative, who had sent the weapon.
The rocket-propelled grenade was intended for a targeted terror attack. A first information report (FIR) has been registered at the police station in Gharinda in Amritsar district.
Further investigation is underway to unearth the entire network, said the DGP.
Last week, in a major intelligence-based operation, Amritsar Commissionerate Police had busted a cross-border organised arms and narcotics smuggling module with links to Pakistan with the arrest of its three operatives and recovered 10 sophisticated pistols along with 500 grams opium from their possession.
