Babbar Khalsa Terrorist With ISI Ties Captured in Joint Police Operation

Lajar Masih, an escaped militant linked to Pakistan's ISI, was arrested in Uttar Pradesh by a coordinated effort between UP STF and Punjab Police.

Lajar Masih, a Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) operative with alleged ties to Pakistan's ISI, was apprehended in Kaushambi district, Uttar Pradesh.
The joint operation was conducted by the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) and Punjab Police early Thursday morning.
Masih had escaped judicial custody in Punjab on September 24, 2024, and was reportedly working under Swarn Singh, the head of a Germany-based BKI module.
Authorities recovered explosives, including three active hand grenades, two detonators, a foreign-made pistol, and a white explosive powder, along with other items during the arrest.
This arrest follows the Punjab Police's recent dismantling of a BKI terror module responsible for attacks in Batala and Amritsar earlier this year.
