An operative of a terrorist module of the banned pro-Khalistan group Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) suffered a bullet injury inside Bal Gopal Gaushala in Balongi in Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar District in Punjab amid a joint operation conducted by the Mohali Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) and the Batala police in the evening of January 4, reports Hindustan Times. The accused, identified as Sharanpreet Singh alias Sunny, a close associate of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-backed terrorist Harvinder Rinda and United States (US)-based gangster Harpreet alias Happy Pasia, was arrested subsequently. Police recovered a pistol and two live cartridges from Sunny. Earlier on January 3, Mohali CIA team had arrested Sunny’s two accomplices Karan Gujjarpuria and Vishaldeep Singh from Amritsar and recovered three weapons and eight live cartridges from the former. “Sunny used to work with Gujjarpuria. As Sunny was also wanted by Batala police, Mohali CIA and Batala police jointly interrogated his two accomplices. During interrogation, it was revealed that Sunny was hiding in Balongi following which patrolling teams launched a search and spotted him in Balongi around 5 pm. When chased, he ran into the gaushala and exchanged fire with the police. He was nabbed after being shot in the leg,” Sandeep Kumar Garg, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Mohali, said.
