Punjab Police Crack Chandigarh Grenade Case, Five Arrested

In a joint effort, Punjab and Chandigarh Police have made significant headway in unraveling the Chandigarh grenade attack, capturing five individuals involved and identifying the main perpetrators. With international ties uncovered, ongoing investigations aim to secure those still at large.

In a major breakthrough, the Counter-Intelligence wing of Punjab Police, alongside Chandigarh Police, has successfully cracked the case of the Chandigarh grenade attack, resulting in the arrest of five suspects. Among those apprehended are the main perpetrators of the attack, according to official statements.

Addressing a press conference, Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav announced that one grenade and an additional cache have been recovered. The operations to apprehend the remaining absconding accused continue, with assurances from the police that they are actively pursuing leads.

The investigation revealed the involvement of Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI, suggesting international ties with handlers based in Portugal and Germany. These findings highlight a complex network using cutouts and sub-modules, thwarting a major terror plot aimed at destabilizing regional peace. The concerted efforts of law enforcement underscore a commitment to security and order.
