Chandigarh, June 5: Days after busting a nine-member terror module, the police claimed to have busted another Pakistan-trained module having links with Kashmiri terrorists with the arrest of three persons.
The alleged terrorists, belonging to Nawanshahr, were using a cellphone software to communicate with their handlers in Germany and Pakistan.
The police said the three terrorists had planned to carry out killings and blow up railway tracks. An arms consignment from Pakistan intercepted by the security agencies near the international border in Pakistan was meant for these terrorists, they claimed.
A spokesperson said Gurdial Singh of Road Majara in Garhshankar and Jagroop Singh of Chandpur Rurki in Nawanshahr were trained in Pakistan in November. They had been arrested from their homes. The third was their local help, Satwinder Singh. He is a Hindu Gujjar and belongs to Jagroop’s village.
The police said during interrogation, the three claimed that many persons from the state were radicalised by Pakistan taking advantage of sacrilege incidents and Bargari police firing killings.
