Weapons were also recovered during the Investigation


After the investigations, weapons recovered from Pakistan ISI-backed terrorists are lethal and usually used by Pakistan Army, Punjab Police said.

According to the officials, on Sunday, Punjab Police busted a Pak-ISI-backed terrorist module and arrested four members.

The accused were associated with Canada-based Arshdeep Singh alias Arsh Dala and Australia-based gangster Gurjant Singh alias Janta. They were apprehended from Delhi during the intel-led operation carried out by the Counter-Intelligence unit of Punjab Police with the help of Delhi Police.

Taking notes from the investigation, on Monday, the state police obtained five-day remand of four terrorists associated with gangsters in Canada and Australia from the court.

The police officials said, ''On Sunday after their arrest, they were brought to Punjab where a medical checkup was done at the civil hospital in Mohali. The police have obtained their 5-day remand from the court."

Moreover, the police added, they are notorious terrorists who had procured weapons that the Indian Army does not even use.

"Most lethal weapons have been recovered from them which are usually seen to be used by the Pakistan Army," said police.

The Police have recovered three Chinese-made P-86 hand grenades, one IED and two 9mm pistols along with 40 live cartridges from the possession of arrested persons, said Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav on Sunday.

The third such module of cross-border smuggling of arms and explosives has been busted by the Punjab Police in less than a week.

Those arrested have been identified as Deepak Sharma of Preet Nagar in Moga; Sandeep Singh of village Kotkaror Kalan in Ferozepur; Sunny Dagar of village Ishapur in Najafgarh in Delhi; and Vipin Jakhar, a resident of Goyal Khurd in New Delhi, where all of them were taking shelter.

According to the DGP Gaurav Yadav, "Following the reliable inputs that associates of Arsh Dala are being harboured by Vipin Jakhar at his accommodation in village Goyla Khurd in New Delhi, teams of Punjab Police's SSOC Mohali along with Dwarka Police conducted a raid at their premises on Friday and managed to arrest them after recovering two 9mm pistols (foreign-made) along with 40 live cartridges."
