Jalandhar, June 5
The Nawanshahr police has arrested two Babbar Khalsa International militants and a recovery of one kilogram RDX, 11 detonators and other explosive material such as cordex wires has been made from them.
Mr Parmjit Singh Gill, DIG, Jalandhar Range, said the BKI activists have been identified as Bahadur Singh and Gurdip Singh Kaka, both residents of Malpur village near Rahon in Nawanshahr district today. The arrest was said to be a coordinated effort of the Nawanshahr police and officials of the Delhi police, who have been carrying out searches in Punjab after arrest of Balwinder Singh, a BKI activist and his associates, who were allegedly responsible for recent blast in Delhi’s Satyam and Liberty Cinema halls. Jaspal Singh Raja, the kingpin of the blast episode was still absconding.
Mr Gill said interrogation of Balwinder Singh had helped the Delhi and Nawanshahr police to arrest the two accused and recovery of explosive material. He said more arrests and recoveries could not be ruled out.
The BKI headed by Wadhawa Singh Babbar, it was learnt, was the only militant outfit which was still left with expertise and capability to mastermind bomb blasts. A case has been registered at Rahon police station under various sections of Explosives Act. Mr Gill said the Delhi and the Nawanshahr police were likely to carry out more raids in search of accomplices of Jaspal Singh Raja.
