Chandigarh: The Punjab Police has solved most of the cases of targeted killings, including the sensational Gagneja case, with the arrest of four persons, Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh announced on Tuesday, disclosing a major conspiracy to fan communal disturbances and destabilize the state, hatched by the ISI in Pakistan and other countries.
Though the state government had handed over the case of the killing of RSS state vice president Brigadier Jagdish Gagneja to the CBI, the state police had cracked this case too with the bursting of the latest terror module - the 8th such module to be smashed since his government took charge, said Captain Amarinder.
The conspirators who have been arrested include a gangster, Dharmendra alias Guggni, lodged in Nabha jail, further endorsing the suspicions of a growing nexus between radicals and gangsters, the Chief Minister further revealed. Giving details, Captain Amarinder said the interrogation of the four conspirators showed that they had met and been trained in various places abroad and had been using encrypted mobile software/ apps for communication with handlers based in Pakistan and some western countries.
The ISI was always looking out to disturb the country’s peace and to radicalize the youth, said the Chief Minister in response to a question, asserting that the state government would not allow the peace and harmony of Punjab to be disrupted.
