Major Arrest in Punjab Related to ISI
A senior officer from the Punjab Police reported on Friday that a man allegedly in contact with agents of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has been apprehended with two grenades. In a statement, Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav announced that the Amritsar Rural Police successfully arrested Ravinder Singh, also known as Ravi, a resident of Tarn Taran, and seized two grenades from him. Initial investigations revealed that the accused had connections with ISI agents in Pakistan and received the grenades from across the border. A First Information Report (FIR) has been filed at the Garhinda police station in Amritsar.
Yadav stated that further investigations are underway to uncover the entire network. He emphasized the Punjab Police's commitment to dismantling terrorist networks, eradicating organized crime, and ensuring peace and public safety throughout the state. Earlier on Wednesday, the Border Security Force (BSF) seized over 3 kilograms of ice drugs (methamphetamine) near the India-Pakistan border in Amritsar, according to an official. During a search operation near Burj village, BSF personnel discovered a bag containing 3.165 kilograms of narcotics.
In another incident, the BSF, in collaboration with Punjab Police, recovered a drone and a packet of heroin weighing 580 grams from a field near Dal village in Tarn Taran district. Officials noted that these seizures symbolize the BSF's ongoing efforts to thwart the malicious attempts of Pakistani traffickers using drones for cross-border drug supply.
