Cops arrest 2 aides of terrorist Landa

The Punjab Anti-Gangster Task Force, in a joint operation with the Tarn Taran police, have arrested two key associates of foreign-based terrorist Lakhbir Singh, alias Landa Harike. The accused have been identified as Virkamjit Singh, alias Vicky, and Harpreet Singh, alias Prince.

The police have recovered a .32-bore calibre pistol and a .315-bore pistol with nine live cartridges from the possession of the accused.

“Vikramjit Singh, a proclaimed offender, was wanted in an attempt-to-murder case registered against him at the Jhabal police station here in March 2024, and had been absconding since. His accomplice Ajaypal, alias Mota, was earlier arrested by the Tarn Taran police after a brief exchange of fire in March 2025,” said Punjab Police Director General Gaurav Yadav.

He said both accused had criminal backgrounds, with several cases registered against them.
