Khalistani terrorists killed in Pilibhit encounter were trained by Pakistan’s ISI, terror attack in Gurdaspur planned in Canada and the US

According to a report by Dainik Bhaskar, the terrorist attack on a checkpoint in Punjab's Gurdaspur is part of a larger plan orchestrated in Canada and the United States. The report stated that three meetings were held in the two countries in 2023 to plan attacks on Indian police, supply weapons and train terrorists.

Three Khalistani terrorists killed in Pilibhit’s Puranpur are discovered to have links to Pakistan. The leader of their group, Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF), is based in the country. The perpetrators fled to Uttar Pradesh after throwing a grenade at a checkpoint in Punjab. Such attacks are reportedly being carried out by Pakistan’s intelligence agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in exchange for Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000. Similar to the slain drug-addicted terrorists, other young people are also falling victim to this growing problem. Moreover, the ISI and Pakistan are actively supplying weapons to the Punjab area.

According to a report by Dainik Bhaskar, the terrorist attack on a checkpoint in Punjab’s Gurdaspur is part of a larger plan orchestrated in Canada and the United States. The report stated that three meetings were held in the two countries in 2023 to plan attacks on Indian police, supply weapons and train terrorists. Since these meetings, there has been a surge in attacks on checkpoints and police stations. Over the last two years, around 20 similar incidents have taken place in Punjab.

The Superintendent of Police (SP) Pilibhit disclosed that the KZF recruited these culprits to execute the assault for a mere Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000. He noted that this terrorist organization functions directly from Pakistan, where its leader, Ranjit Neeta, is broadening his operations. Besides providing weaponry, the ISI is also offering terrorist training to Sikh youth at various locations within the country. Reports suggest that numerous training camps have been set up in Pakistan for this purpose. Furthermore, the ISI is even assisting Khalistani factions in their fundraising initiatives.

The acquisition of these funds is facilitated through activities such as extortion, ransom and drug trafficking. The ISI and multiple Pakistani agencies are actively involved in the distribution of drugs and weapons into Punjab. In the last two years, drones have been observed flying over the Punjab border on more than 200 occasions. Although the Border Security Force (BSF) frequently intercepts and destroys these drones, some manage to escape. These unmanned aerial vehicles are known to transport drugs and firearms. The weapons recovered from terrorists neutralized in Pilibhit are of foreign manufacture, raising suspicions that they were transported through the same route.

The ISI has broadened its operations to encompass seven states and 30 cities across India. This network not only covers Punjab but also includes districts with a notable Sikh demographic in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. Funds are dispatched directly via hawala networks for actions that cannot be achieved through cross-border smuggling. Terrorists like Wadhwa Singh Babbar and Neeta are involved in these activities with the support of ISI. Several Khalistanis have also been killed in Pakistan. Punjab Police, Uttar Pradesh Police and intelligence agencies are on high alert regarding these developments.

Meanwhile, in the Pilibhit case, the local police are leaving no stone unturned in their investigation. The police have recently taken into custody a man named Sunny, who helped the terrorists in renting a room in Puranpur. Several other individuals have also been detained for questioning in connection with this case. It has come to the attention of the authorities that the three terrorists who were killed were drug addicts and had procured intoxicating capsules from a pharmacy in Puranpur. The police have visited the facility to conduct further inquiries.

On 23rd December 2024, three terrorists of the Khalistan Zindabad Force were eliminated in a police encounter. They had been involved in a grenade attack on a police checkpoint in Gurdaspur, Punjab, a few months earlier. The operation was carried out by a joint team of Uttar Pradesh and Punjab Police. The terrorists were identified as Gurvinder Singh, Virendra Singh also known as Ravi and Jaspreet Singh alias Pratap Singh.
