Raikot, September 8

The Ludhiana (Rural) police have enhanced surveillance around Tazpur and Binjal villages after two youths were nabbed by the special cell of the Delhi Police after a brief encounter. Six pistols and 40 live cartridges were recovered from them on Sunday.

The suspects were identified as Bhupinder Singh, alias Dilawar Singh, of Tazpur village, and Kulwant Singh of Binjal village, in Raikot subdivision. Both are alleged to be Babbar Khalsa terrorists.

The duo was also suspected of hoisting saffron flags on government buildings on Friday before leaving their homes. However, their families said the two were being implicated.

SSP Vivek Sheel Soni said senior functionaries of the Ludhiana police would be joining their Delhi counterparts during the interrogation of the accused. — OC
