In a major breakthrough against ISI-backed cross-border terror networks, Punjab Police in a joint operation with the central agency recovered a cache of terrorist hardware in an intelligence-led operation in the forested area near Tibba Nangal-Kular road in SBS Nagar district, Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said on Tuesday.
The recovery included two rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), two improvised explosive devices (IEDs), five P-86 hand grenades and one wireless communication set.
DGP Yadav said preliminary probe indicated a coordinated operation by Pakistan’s ISI and allied terror outfits to revive sleeper cells in Punjab.
A first information report (FIR) under relevant provisions of law has been registered at the State Special Operation Cell police station in Amritsar.
