Punjab Police has disclosed a sinister plan of a cross-border terror module to attack Delhi’s Jantar Mantar during the recent students’ protest. The two ISI-backed cross-border terror modules, which the Amritsar Police had busted yesterday, revealed during investigation that they had travelled to Delhi with the intention of carrying out an attack at the protest site with petrol bombs. However, they abandoned the plan after finding heavy security deployment there.
Amritsar Police Commissioner, Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said that all those trying to attack the protest site at New Delhi were juveniles and had been trained by the ISI handlers. They had also been tasked with targeting police and uniformed force personnel in exchange for money.
Four out of the nine arrested were juveniles. Police said the other module was involved in installation of surveillance cameras near railway tracks to share footage with foreign based handlers. Further investigation is underway.
