  • Two Suspected Militants Of Europe-based Organisation Arrested: Punjab Police
Two people suspected to belong to a Europe-based terrorist organisation have been arrested, Punjab Police claimed on Tuesday.
 
Punjab police’s Counter Intelligence Unit arrested Palwinder Singh alias Ghodu and Sandeep Kumar alias Kaalu alias Shinda — both from Batala, a spokesperson said.
 
Investigations have so far shown that the two were asked to fan communal tensions in the state to create political instability.
 
Police found one 9 mm pistol, along with 2 magazines and 13 live rounds, two 32 bore pistols, along with 4 magazines and 33 live rounds and one 12 bore countrymade gun among ammunition taken from the suspects.
 
Investigators claim that the organisation was controlled by Shaminder Singh alias Sherry, who operated in Germany. Militants from various parts of Europe — such as Jagdish Singh Bhoora, originally from village Mohi in Ludhiana, in Belguim — were part of the organisation. Several militants are suspected to be facing terrorism charges in Punjab.
 
Police claim they have arrested Sharminder Singh’s mother, Jaswinder Kaur, who was found holding two weapons that police claim were to be delivered according to Singh’s instructions Kaur claimed that her son frequently returned to India, the last time being in January.
Investigations found that Sandeep Kumar had served a sentence in Gurdaspur Jail between 2008 and 2009. 
 
It was during this time that he was introduced to Sherry, the spokesperson said.
