SSP Maninder Singh said Harpreet Singh alias Happy alias Milkha, a resident of Cheela Colony, Bhikhiwind, Tarn Taran, was arrested with two hand grenades on Monday.
During preliminary interrogation, Harpreet disclosed that he was in direct contact with a Pakistani ISI agent identified as “Tiger” and was working under his directions to receive drone-dropped consignments of weapons and materials arriving from Dall village in Tarn Taran, he said.
He added that the first operation was conducted on October 2, when a team from Gharinda Police Station, acting on a tip-off, arrested Ravinder Singh alias Ravi alias Batti, a resident of Tarn Taran. The police recovered two hand grenades and an unregistered motorcycle from his possession.
