Punjab Police Busts ISI-Backed Terror Modules, Arrests Nine
Punjab Police announced the dismantling of two terror modules backed by Pakistan's ISI, arresting nine individuals, including four minors. Preliminary investigations suggest the accused were recruited by foreign-based ISI handlers to conduct terror activities. Recovered items include pistols, cartridges, petrol bombs, and CCTV equipment. The modules were allegedly involved in conducting reconnaissance, including placing CCTV cameras on railway tracks to send footage to Pakistan. Some reports indicate threats were made against Punjab's Chief Minister and Governor, and plans to bomb courts and government buildings.
