Batala Police, after persistent efforts, arrested four individuals connected to the terror activities. Among the arrested is the mastermind, Abhijot Singh, who operated under the directions of foreign-based handlers Happy Passian and Shamsher, also known as Honey, who are currently residing in Armenia.

Self-Defense Operation During Recovery

During the investigation, two of the accused were taken for recovery operations when they attempted to attack the police team to evade custody. Acting in self-defense, the police responded, and both accused sustained injuries. They were immediately admitted to Batala’s Civil Hospital, where their condition is reported to be stable.

The operation also led to the recovery of critical items, including a 9mm Glock 26 pistol (made in Austria) and six live rounds. These recoveries further establish the international linkages and sophisticated nature of the terror module.

Ongoing Investigations

Punjab Police continues its investigations to unveil the full extent of this terror network and apprehend other operatives involved.

Punjab Police reiterated its unwavering commitment to dismantling organized crime and safeguarding peace in the state. The successful bust serves as a stern warning to elements attempting to disrupt harmony and highlights the state’s zero-tolerance approach towards terrorism.

The operation underscores Punjab Police’s dedication to ensuring the safety and security of its citizens through relentless action against criminal networks.
