New Delhi: The Punjab police identified Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF), being run from the United Kingdom and Germany, to be behind the recent grenade attack at Police Post Asron in Nawanshahr with the counter intelligence (CI) division of Punjab police arresting three members of the terror module.

Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav identified the arrested persons as Yugpreet Singh alias Yuvi, a resident of Mohalla Qazian, Jaskaran Singh alias Shah, a resident of Mohalla Jagoteyan and Harjot Singh alias Jot, a resident of Dugglan Mohalla in Rahon. Police teams have also recovered two weapons- one country-made pistol and one revolver- along with six live cartridges from their possession, he added.

The arrest came days after some persons targeted police post Asron of Police Station Kathgarh by hurling a hand grenade in its premises on December 2, this year. Yadav said that the arrested accused persons are the members of KZF module controlled by handlers based in Germany, United Kingdom (UK) and other countries and were tasked to target police establishments and minority leaders in Punjab and Haryana.

The module has received funding of ₹4.5 lakhs over the last six months, he added. The DGP said that preliminary investigation has revealed that the arrested persons had retrieved a hand grenade from a Dead Letter Box (DLB) located at the GT Road in Jalandhar on November 28 and hurled it at Police Post Asron in SBS Nagar on December 2.

A DLB is a secret location used to exchange information or items between two people without meeting in person.


KZF is banned by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and its chief Ranjeet Singh alias Neeta, aged about 56 years, was designated as an individual terrorist by the MHA in 2020.
