Two more KLF men in NIA net

New Delhi, June 22

The NIA has arrested two absconding persons belonging to the Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) in connection with the killing of Balwinder Singh Sandhu, a Shaurya Chakra awardee, in Tarn Taran district.

Officials in the agency said NIA sleuths arrested Harbhinder Singh, alias Pinder, and Navpreet Singh, alias Nav, both from Tarn Taran.

A senior NIA official said, “They are close aides of Inderjit Singh, who was involved in the conspiracy to kill Sandhu.” The accused were produced before the NIA Special Court in Mohali today and sent to the agency custody for four days. A case in connection with Sandhu’s murder was initially registered by the Punjab Police but the NIA took over the probe on January 26 this year. — TNS
