Amritsar (Punjab) [India], July 31 (ANI): The Amritsar Rural Police have cracked the recent attack on Police Post Chamiari under the Ajnala Police Station, arresting four individuals, including a minor, for throwing an incendiary device at the facility.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the operatives were acting on instructions from an ISI-backed handler based abroad, uncovering a sinister attempt to disturb peace in the border state.
Motorcycle-borne assailants hurled an incendiary object at Police Post Chamiari before fleeing the scene. No major casualties were reported, but the attack triggered an immediate high-alert response. The accused were actively communicating with an ISI-sponsored handler known by the alias "Rana Bai" via social media platforms.
The suspects had received funds from their overseas handler specifically to carry out the targeted attack on the police post. Among the four arrested, one is a minor, while the remaining three are young adults aged between 20 and 22 years.
