A special cell of the Delhi Police, with assistance from the Faridkot police, has arrested an operative linked to the banned outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) from Dod village in the Bajakhana area.

The accused, identified as Pritpal Singh, alias Kaka, was allegedly involved in painting pro-Khalistan graffiti on public walls and recording videos of the act for circulation online. Investigations revealed that he was in direct contact with SFJ chief and designated terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, according to the case registered at the Bajakhana police station.
