A day after Punjab Police mentioned a strong nexus between Punjab gangs and terror groups operating from Pakistan, the Punjab Police’s State Special Operations Cell (SSOC) has arrested another operative of the Rinda-Landa gang from Kharar.
The operative was identified as Anmoldeep Soni, a resident of Harike Pattan in Tarn Taran. The police also recovered 103 gm of heroin from his possession.
The Punjab Police, on September 8, had arrested three aides of Landa and Rinda, including Nachhatar Singh alias Moti, who is prime accused of planting an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in the Shahabad area of Kurukshetra in Haryana recently.
Soni is an active member of the Lakhbir Singh alias Landa module which was instrumental in the delivery of militant hardware and narcotics, besides, providing hideouts to the module members.
The Punjab Police investigation showed that the ISI-backed terror module is jointly handled by Canada-based gangster Lakhbir Singh alias Landa and Pakistan-based gangster Harvinder Singh Rinda,
Landa (33), who is a native of Tarn Taran and fled to Canada in 2017, had conspired the Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) terror attack at Punjab Police Intelligence headquarters in Mohali and had also planted an IED beneath Sub-Inspector Dilbag Singh’s car in Amritsar.
He is considered to be the close aide of Pakistan-based wanted gangster Harvinder Singh alias Rinda, who had joined hands with Babbar Khalsa International (BKI).
