Punjab Police Arrest Two More in Gurdaspur Over Alleged Targeted-Killings Plot Linked to BKI

Police say the duo reported to handlers based abroad, with teams now tracing the network and finances.

Overview

  • Gurdaspur police detained Lovedeep Singh, known as Love, and Tek Chand, known as Tinku, and recovered three .32 calibre pistols with live rounds.
  • Officials attributed the pair to foreign-based handlers Gurdev Jassal and Gurlal, known as Gullu, who are linked to the banned Babbar Khalsa International group.
  • An unregistered white Volkswagen Jetta allegedly used for criminal activity was impounded, and a case was lodged under Section 25 of the Arms Act at Kalanaur police station.
  • The latest arrests follow the earlier detention of Nitish Singh and Karan Masih, from whom police seized a 9mm Glock tied to two extortion-linked shootings on September 22 and October 15 in Kalanaur.
  • Police describe the arrests as part of a wider conspiracy to spread unrest in Punjab and say they are pursuing financial trails, network linkages, and international legal action, with more arrests expected.
