Gangsters, Babar Khalsa and Pakistan’s ISI behind Mohali attack, says Punjab DGP

Punjab Director General of Police V. K. Bhawra on Friday said the role of Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), gangsters, and Pakistan's ISI had come to the fore in the rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attack at the headquarters of the Punjab police Intelligence Wing in Mohali.

The DGP said the key conspirator behind the attack was Lakhbir Singh alias Landa, who provided the RPG, an AK-47, and local network of criminals for logistic support to carry out the attack. “Landa is a native of Tarn Taran district, who fled to Canada in 2017 and is a close aide of Pakistan-based wanted gangster Harvinder Singh alias Rinda and had joined hands with Babbar Khalsa International,” Mr. Bhawra said at a press conference here.

“We have arrested six persons for their involvement in planning and providing the local logistic support to the attackers,” he added.
