The Punjab police have arrested Paramjit Singh alias Punjab Singh alias Dhadi, a close aide of Pakistan-based Khalistani terrorist Lakhbir Singh Rode, it said on December 5.
Punjab Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said the State Special Operation Cell (Amritsar) has busted a terrorist recruitment, funding, and aiding module with the arrest, carried out at the Sri Guru Ram Das Airport in Amritsar.
Mr. Paramjit Singh, better known as Dhadi, is a British citizen and a founder member of the International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF). He was initially involved in terror activities in Punjab in the early 1990s, and was later arrested in 2003 and convicted in cases pertaining to terrorist activities. After completing his sentence, the accused returned to the U.K. but continued his ISYF activities by working as a motivator, recruiter, and fundraiser for the organisation in the U.K. and other European countries.
