2024 grenade attack at police post: NIA chargesheets 3 operatives of KZF
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has chargesheeted three accused linked to the banned terror outfit, Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF), in the 2024 case relating to a grenade attack at a police post in Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar district, officials said on Sunday. The accused, identified as Yugpreet Singh, Jaskaran Singh and Harjot Singh, all hailing from Rahon village in SBS Nagar, have been charged under various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Explosive Substances Act and other related provisions, including 109 (attempt to murder) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita in the chargesheet filed before a court in Mohali. The trio were arrested by Punjab Police on December 24 last year after they allegedly targeted a police post under Kathgarh police station by hurling a hand grenade on its premises on December 2. Police also recovered two illegal weapons and six live cartridges from their possession. The federal agency, NIA, which took over the case from Punjab Police in March, launched investigations against KZF chief and designated individual terrorist Ranjit Singh alias Neeta and his UK-based operative Jagjit Singh Lahiri and other unidentified terror operatives. 'The NIA has found that Jagga had recruited Yugpreet Singh through an acquaintance in the UK. Along with other KZF terrorists and operatives, Jagga had radicalised Yugpreet and handled him via encrypted messaging applications. Jagga had also provided Yugpreet with over ₹4.36 lakh of terror funds through a complex chain of Canada-based entities, who have also been identified and examined,' an NIA spokesperson said. It added that Yugpreet had in turn recruited the other two chargesheeted accused and the trio had carried out the attack at the police post in December last year. 'The three accused had been provided the grenade by their foreign-based handlers earlier in November 2024,' it added. The spokesperson added that the agency has been carrying out further probes to thwart KFZ's attempts to carry out terror attacks at law enforcement establishments and sensitive installations, as well as targeted killings in Punjab. It may be mentioned that the preliminary investigation of Punjab Police had revealed that the arrested persons had retrieved the hand grenade from a dead drop location or dead letter box system (DLB) on the GT Road in Jalandhar on November 28 and hurled the grenade at Kathgarh police station on December 2. 'A DLB is a secret location used to exchange information or items between two people without a meeting,' police said.

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta accuses AAP of misrule in Punjab
Targeting the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its supremo, Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday said new cases have been filed against Arvind Kejriwal and his team in Delhi for corruption, and that those party leaders currently out on bail could soon be imprisoned. CM Gupta was addressing a press conference in Punjab's Ludhiana on Sunday and held meetings in support of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Jiwan Gupta in the Ludhiana West bypoll, which is scheduled for June 19. Gupta also targeted the Punjab government for not fulfilling the promise to give ₹1,000 per month to women of the state even after three and a half years of forming the government. The Delhi CM alleged that after the Delhi debacle, Kejriwal along with all his team have now made Punjab their base. 'They have taken control of the Punjab government and he (Kejriwal) has adjusted his loyalists in different departments,' Gupta said. Gupta expressed confidence that the electorate in Ludhiana West will vote for the BJP. 'Delhi people took 10 years to send Kejriwal out of power, but Punjabis are wise and will make a good choice. They have understood completely that the time has come to give farewell to the AAP government here as well,' Gupta said adding that Ludhiana West would serve as a 'trailer' for the 2027 assembly elections. Later, while addressing a ward sabha, Gupta raised the matter of assault on Col Pushpinder Singh Bath by a group of police personnel in Patiala. 'Not a single word was uttered by the Punjab chief minister in the case and the family of the brave army officer is being harassed. They were forced to knock at the door of Punjab and Haryana high court for justice,' she said. On her way to Punjab, Gupta visited Karnal and met the city's mayor and BJP leaders. Punjab AAP spokesperson Neel Garg stated that the AAP government has delivered 80% of the guarantees which they had announced. 'The government will fulfil the guarantee of ₹1,000 per month to women very soon,' he said. He said CM Gupta should also tell people about the promise to give R 2,500 per month to women of Delhi which Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed would start from March 8. He also said that lodging an FIR does not mean the person is a criminal. 'All the cases against AAP leaders in Delhi were politically motivated and no agency found any evidence against them,' he added.
