Two Khalistani Operatives Deported from Malaysia Over Punjab Rail AttacksPreviousNext

Two fugitives linked to the banned Khalistan Zindabad Force and involved in planning attacks on Punjab's railway infrastructure were deported from Malaysia to India. The operation, based on intelligence sharing between Indian and Malaysian agencies, led to their arrest upon arrival in New Delhi. Investigations connect the suspects to a terror module directed by Pakistan's ISI, responsible for multiple blasts on railway freight corridors. Authorities continue interrogations and legal proceedings in Patiala.
