Punjab Police Arrest Nine in ISI-Backed Cross-Border Terror Modules Bust
Punjab Police in Amritsar have arrested nine individuals, including four juveniles, linked to two Pakistan-based ISI-backed cross-border terror modules. Authorities recovered illegal pistols, petrol bombs, and live cartridges. Investigations indicate the accused were recruited by foreign handlers to conduct surveillance on security installations, procure weapons, and disrupt public peace. Surveillance cameras near railway tracks were also found, with footage shared with handlers. Police are probing the network's wider connections, financial links, and potential involvement in other terror activities.
