Punjab Police Deport Two Khalistan Zindabad Force Operatives from Malaysia
Punjab Police, in coordination with central agencies and the Royal Malaysia Police, have deported two operatives linked to the banned Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) from Malaysia. Identified as Gurwinder Singh of Ambala and Manjeet Singh of Patiala, they were arrested upon arrival at Delhi's IGI Airport and brought to Punjab for investigation. The duo allegedly played key roles in a Malaysia-based terror module targeting critical railway infrastructure, including the Dedicated Freight Corridor, and were involved in channeling terror funds. This follows earlier arrests and seizures related to IED blasts on Punjab's railway freight corridor. Investigations into the wider network and financial channels are ongoing.
