Punjab police on Tuesday said the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) have busted a terror module operated by foreign-based mastermind Iqbalpreet Singh alias Buchi with the arrest of four module members including key operative Gurwinder Singh alias Shera.
State’s Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav said the accused Gurwinder Singh, who was presently out on bail, was earlier arrested by the AGTF in 2022 for conspiring target killings on the directions of Iqbalpreet Singh, who had paid him ₹1.50 lakh to execute target killings in the State.
“The other three arrested module members have been identified as Gurpreet Singh of Patiala, Ranjit Singh alias Sonu and Jagjit Singh alias Jashan of Patti, both residents of Patti in Tarn Taran. Police teams have also recovered three pistols along with 13 live cartridges from their possession,” he said.
