Punjab Police has busted two ISI‑backed cross‑border terror modules with the arrest of nine individuals.
New Delhi: Punjab Police busted two ISI-backed cross-border terror modules, apprehended nine accused, including four juveniles, and recovered three illegal pistols, four petrol bottle bombs, and nine live cartridges, DGP Punjab Gaurav Yadav posted on X. "Preliminary investigation reveals that the accused were acting at the behest of foreign-based ISI handlers, who were trying to recruit local youth to carry out terror-related activities, conduct surveillance of security installations, procure illegal weapons and disturb public peace. The investigation also uncovered the installation of surveillance cameras near railway tracks, with footage allegedly shared with foreign handlers," Yadav stated.
