Overview
- Counter-Intelligence teams raided a meeting spot near Teri village and arrested five suspects after acting on specific intelligence, police said Thursday.
- Those detained are Gurpreet Singh, his son Jaskaran Singh, Veenu, Amritpal Singh and Gaurav Masih, all named by Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav.
- Police recovered one .30-bore assault rifle, two hand grenades, 13 foreign-made pistols including four 9mm Glocks, 25 live cartridges and two motorcycles used for logistics.
- An FIR has been filed at the State Special Operation Cell in Amritsar under the Arms Act, the Explosive Substances Act and provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
- Investigators say preliminary probes link the cell to a foreign-based smuggler using encrypted platforms and are tracing upstream and downstream contacts, a development that could change how police monitor drone-enabled smuggling.
