Punjab Police has apprehended a key operative of an ISI-sponsored Babbar Khalsa International terror module, thwarting a planned attack, according to DGP Gaurav Yadav on August 10, 2026. The arrested individual allegedly acquired an 86-P hand grenade from Jalandhar, following instructions from foreign-based handlers, the DGP revealed.
