Punjab Police on Friday claimed to have cracked the Mohali grenade attack case with the arrest of five terror suspects.
State DGP VK Bhawra said Lakhbir Singh, alias Landa, from Tarn Taran district, a close associate to gangster turned terrorist Harvinder Singh Rinda had hatched the conspiracy. The DGP said they work for the Babbar Khalsa International and ISI in Pakistan. Lakhbir Singh Landa shifted to Canada in 2017. He added that Landa is a close associate of Harinder Singh Rinda, who is in close proximity to Wadhawa Singh and part ISI. The DGP mentioned that Rinda operates from Pakistan.
While speaking to the media, the DGP said the RPG used in the Mohali attack was either made in Russia or Bulgaria and has a very high chance of being brought to the country from Pakistan.
Lakhbir Singh’s other associates are Nishan Singh and Charan Singh, both from Tarn Taran. Nishan Singh was recently arrested by the Faridkot police. Nishan got the rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) from Landa and gave it to three persons.
The rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) was fired at the third floor of the highly-guarded intelligence wing headquarters in Mohali’s Sector 77 at 7.45 pm on Monday, which sent the state in a high alert mode.
Punjab DGP VK Bhawra said "All the persons behind the attack have been identified, but the three persons who carried out the attack were yet to be arrested".
