In a significant counter-terrorism breakthrough, Punjab Police has dismantled a dangerous grenade attack module allegedly backed by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The operation led to the arrest of ten individuals who were reportedly planning coordinated attacks across the state.
Major Security Operation Unfolds
According to official statements released on Sunday, the intelligence-led operation targeted a network that had been actively working to destabilize peace in Punjab. The module was in advanced stages of planning multiple grenade attacks at various sensitive locations throughout the state.
The arrests were made following coordinated raids across different districts of Punjab, with police recovering substantial evidence linking the suspects to their handlers across the border. The operation represents one of the most significant counter-terrorism successes in recent months.
International Connections Revealed
Investigations have uncovered disturbing connections between the arrested individuals and Pakistani intelligence operatives. The module received direct support, funding, and strategic direction from ISI handlers based in Pakistan, according to police evidence.
Authorities revealed that the suspects had established communication channels with their handlers through encrypted messaging platforms and were receiving regular instructions about potential targets and attack methodologies. The network had been under surveillance for several weeks before the decisive police action.
Police sources confirmed that the group had already conducted reconnaissance of several high-value targets and was in the process of acquiring weapons and explosives when the raids were conducted. The timely intervention prevented what could have been a major security incident.
Ongoing Investigations and Security Measures
Following the arrests, security has been heightened across Punjab, with particular focus on vulnerable areas and critical infrastructure. Police are conducting further investigations to identify any remaining members of the network and their local supporters.
The successful operation demonstrates the enhanced capabilities of Punjab Police's intelligence gathering and their proactive approach to counter-terrorism. Security agencies continue to work round the clock to identify and neutralize any similar threats.
This development comes amid increasing concerns about cross-border terrorism and attempts to disrupt peace in the region. The state government has assured citizens that security forces remain vigilant and are taking all necessary measures to ensure public safety.
Authorities have appealed to the public to remain alert and report any suspicious activities to the police immediately. The cooperation between security agencies and the community has been credited as a key factor in preventing several potential incidents in recent times.
