Chandigarh Police Arrest Three Suspected BKI Operatives with Explosives Near Bus Stand
Chandigarh Police arrested three men aged 19 to 21, suspected of links to Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), after recovering a suspected improvised explosive device concealed in a tiffin box near the Sector 43 bus terminus.
