In a major breakthrough, the Amritsar Rural Police apprehended Ravinder Singh, also known as Ravi, a resident of Tarn Taran, and recovered two hand grenades from his possession. Preliminary investigations revealed that the accused had been in contact with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agents and had received the consignment through cross-border channels. An FIR has been registered at Police Station Gharinda, Amritsar, and further investigation is ongoing to uncover the full network.
