GURDASPUR: Amidst the ongoing drive to make Punjab a safe and secure state as per directions of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, Punjab Police’s Anti Gangster Task Force (AGTF) successfully foiled a major terror plot backed by Pakistan’s ISI and orchestrated by Harwinder Rinda, a Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) operative based in Pakistan, with recovery of large cache of terrorist hardware from a forest area in Gurdaspur, said Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav here on Wednesday.
The recovered cache of terrorist hardware includes two AK-47 rifles along with 16 live cartridges and two magazines, and two P-86 hand grenades.
DGP Gaurav Yadav said that preliminary investigation has revealed that the recovered consignment was pushed into India by Pakistani agencies and Harwinder Rinda as part of a premeditated plan to carry out attacks at multiple locations in Punjab, aiming to disrupt public peace.
