Those arrested have been identified as Jaswant Singh, alias Shinda Baba, a resident of Ferozepur, and Balwant Singh of Ludhiana. Further, Ranjeet Singh, alias Gora, has also been arrested.
Notably, Balwinder Singh died in a motorcycle blast in Jalalabad town on September 15. He had a criminal background. Already three accused have been arrested in the Jalalabad blast case and one tiffin bomb, two pen-drives and cash were recovered from them.
