Chandigarh police on Sunday arrested three men linked to the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terror outfit and seized an improvised explosive device hidden inside a tiffin box, along with several firearms. The arrests were made near the Chandigarh bus stand.
Officials said the module was planning a major attack in the city. The three suspects have been identified as associates of BKI, a pro-Khalistani group that police said operates with support from Pakistan's ISI.
The police recovered the IED, two pistols, and ammunition from the suspects. A case has been registered and investigations are ongoing to determine if more members of the module are still at large.
Indian Opinion Analysis
BKI had been dormant in the tricity area for nearly a decade, and this bust reveals a shift from lone-wolf attacks to organised modules coordinating logistics across Punjab and Haryana. The IED-packed tiffin box matches the signature of an earlier 2021 Ludhiana court blast that killed one person. All three arrested are believed to be operating on direction from handlers in Pakistan, reopening concerns about cross-border smuggling routes through the border belt. The next trigger point will be how much explosives and ammunition the police recover during the ongoing searches of their safe houses across Mohali and Zirakpur.
