2 Operatives of Terror Module Held, IED Recovered: Punjab Police
In a significant breakthrough in the fight against terrorism, Punjab Police have arrested two key operatives of a terror module linked to Germany-based Gurpreet Singh and recovered a 2.8 kg improvised explosive device (IED) containing 1.6 kg RDX along with one remote control. The IED was intended for a targeted terror attack, according to Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav.
The arrests were made following a thorough investigation and intelligence gathering, which revealed that the terror module was planning to carry out a major attack in Punjab. The two arrested operatives, identified as Amandeep Singh and Kulwinder Singh, were produced in a local court and remanded to police custody for further investigation.
The recovery of the IED and the arrests are seen as a major success for the Punjab Police, who have been working tirelessly to neutralize the threat posed by terror outfits operating in the state. The police have been on high alert since the arrest of Gurpreet Singh, a Germany-based terrorist, who was accused of masterminding several attacks in Punjab.
Gurpreet Singh, who is believed to be the leader of the terror module, was arrested by the German authorities in 2020. However, it appears that he had managed to maintain connections with his operatives in Punjab, who were continuing to plan and execute terror attacks.
The IED recovered by the Punjab Police is a significant find, as it contains 1.6 kg of RDX, a highly explosive material that can cause widespread damage. The remote control recovered along with the IED suggests that it was intended to be detonated remotely, making it a highly sophisticated and dangerous device.
The Punjab Police have been working closely with the intelligence agencies to identify and neutralize the threat posed by terror outfits operating in the state. The recent arrests and recovery of the IED are a testament to the police’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the people of Punjab.
The investigation into the terror module is ongoing, and the police are working to identify and arrest other operatives who are believed to be involved in the plot. The recovery of the IED and the arrests of the two operatives are seen as a significant blow to the terror module, and it is hoped that it will disrupt their plans and prevent any further attacks.
The recent developments in the case have also raised concerns about the involvement of foreign-based terrorists in Punjab. The arrest of Gurpreet Singh and the recovery of the IED containing RDX suggest that there is a need for increased vigilance and coordination between the police and intelligence agencies to prevent such attacks in the future.
In conclusion, the arrest of the two operatives of the terror module and the recovery of the IED containing RDX are significant developments in the fight against terrorism in Punjab. The Punjab Police have demonstrated their commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the people of Punjab, and it is hoped that these arrests will disrupt the plans of the terror module and prevent any further attacks.
