Punjab: 3 Terror Module Members Held In Grenade Attack Case

Chandigarh: Punjab police on Saturday claimed to have arrested three members of Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) terror module in the December 2 grenade attack at a police post in district Nawanshahr.

Director General of Police (DGP), Punjab, Gaurav Yadav said that the arrested persons were identified as Yugpreet Singh alias Yuvi, and added that the police had also recovered two weapons—  one country-made pistol and one revolver— along with six live cartridges from their possession.

The development came in less than two weeks after some persons targeted Asron area police post under the Kathgarh police station by hurling a hand grenade in its premises on December 2, this year. The grenade did not explode and was later diffused by the bomb disposal team.

DGP Yadav said that the arrested accused persons are the members of KZF module controlled by handlers based in Germany, United Kingdom (UK) and other countries and were tasked to target police establishments and minority leaders in Punjab and Haryana. The module has received funding of ₹4.5 lakhs over the last six months, he added.
