The district police has arrested Inderjit Singh of Duhre village, Dinesh, alias Gona, of Alawalpur village and Navdeep Singh of Chaugawan village and seized three US-made revolvers and 19 live cartridges from their possession. The three were nabbed during a special naka by the district police and Ropar’s CIA staff near Asron village on the Jalandhar-Nawanshahr highway.

Dr Narinder Bhargav, SSP, said following a tipoff, he directed DSP Satish Malhotra to hold a naka in collaboration with Ropar’s CIA staff. The Kathgarh police accompanied by the CIA staff were successful in making the arrests.

"The three are believed to be associates of Harminder Singh Mintoo, leader of the Indian Sikh Youth Federation, who is residing in Malaysia.”
