A Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) militant, identified as Piara Singh, a resident of Gattikatar village in Ferozepur, was arrested with 3.5 kilograms of RDX, which he had reportedly smuggled from Pakistan for supplying to BKI militants in Punjab, Mohali SSP Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said at a press conference on March 29, reports Indian Express. With the arrest of the explosives supplier to BKI, the Mohali District Police claimed to have foiled another bid of the Pakistan s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-backed BKI to revive militancy in Punjab, Delhi and across country. The SSP added that Piara Singh was a known smuggler of heroin and other contrabands and had walked out of jail a fortnight ago after serving a term in a drug smuggling case. During his stay in jail, he allegedly came in contact with some BKI militants, who asked him to smuggle and supply explosives after his release from jail, Bhullar claimed, while adding that Piara was arrested from the clues extracted during interrogation of suspected BKI militants, Gurpreet Singh and Balveer Singh Bhootna, who were taken into custody from Nabha jail last week on production warrants.
