2 suspected Babbar Khalsa terrorists arrested in Delhi

Two suspected terrorists of Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) were arrested with police today claiming that some politicians and religious leaders were on their target list.

The arrested have been identified as Sarvpreet and Jaswinder.

A senior police official said a team of Delhi Police's Special Cell apprehended the duo.

One of them was arrested from Punjab while the second person was apprehended from north-west Delhi's Shalimar Bagh.

Investigators claimed that three politicians and religious leaders in Delhi were on their target.

In October, Delhi Police had claimed to have foiled a terror strike, possibly in Delhi, ahead of Diwali after seizing over 5 kg explosives from a car outside Ambala Cant railway station.

Investigators had then pointed to the possibility of LeT and Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) joining hands to plot the attack.

A team of Delhi Police and their Haryana counterparts found the explosives in a car parked outside the railway station, about 200 km from Delhi, on October 12 following probe into inputs provided by intelligence agencies that a consignment of explosives is headed to a north Indian metro.
