Punjab Police Foils Terror Plot, Nabs ISI-linked Operative

Punjab Police have averted a terror attack by arresting an operative tied with Pakistan's ISI and seizing a hand grenade. The suspect, Jaiveer Tyagi, collaborated with foreign-based contact Sehlam. A separate drug smuggling racket was also dismantled in Ferozepur, leading to multiple arrests and seizures.

A potential terror attack was thwarted in Punjab as police apprehended an operative linked with Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The arrest led to the seizure of a hand grenade.

Identified as Jaiveer Tyagi, alias Jawed, the suspect was a resident of Ludhiana, originally from Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur district. He was found conspiring with an overseas associate, Sehlam.

Further addressing illegal activities, the counter-intelligence unit in Ferozepur dismantled a cross-border drug smuggling ring, arresting Sukhdev Singh and confiscating 3.50 kg of heroin.
