Punjab Police Bust Two ISI-Backed Terror Modules, Nine Arrested Including JuvenilesPreviousNext

Punjab Police have arrested nine individuals, including four juveniles, after dismantling two alleged ISI-backed cross-border terror modules in Amritsar. Authorities recovered three illegal pistols, four petrol bombs, and live cartridges. Investigations revealed the modules were involved in surveillance activities near railway tracks and planned an attack at Delhi's Jantar Mantar during recent student protests. The accused allegedly acted under instructions from foreign-based ISI handlers. Police continue probing to identify further network members and connections.
