The police’s Crime Branch arrested two gangsters with alleged links to the Happy Passia, who had earlier claimed responsibility for a series of recent grenade attacks in Punjab.

Crime Branch Superintendent of Police (SP) Jasbir Singh was leading the operation to catch the two accused. The team led by Inspector Satwinder Singh caught the two in the forest area near Jeeri Mandi Chowk of Sector 39 following a tip-off.

Investigations revealed that the accused were here to lead an attack orchestrated by Passia, who is based in the US.

The detained suspects are currently being questioned to determine their intentions, identify any planned targets, and uncover whether additional members of the gang are involved in the plot.

The authorities have chosen not to disclose the names of the accused at this stage, citing the active nature of the investigation.
