Punjab police recover arms and explosives from militants in Patiala | Punjab police on Friday arrested three persons in Patiala, including two suspected militants, and recovered large cache of weapons and 2.5 kilograms of RDX from their possession. The police contend that their plan was to create
terror in the state and said that RDX was recovered after one of the suspected
militant, Raj Singh, who told the police officials about their hide out. "Two
of the militants, Makhan Singh and Raj Singh have been placed in police remand.
We have recovered 315-bore revolver and four live magazines. Raj Singh helped
us track down 2.5 kilograms of RDX and detonators which were foreign made," said
Arpit Shukla, Senior Superintendent of Police. "The RDX was meant to be used in
Patiala and its contents could have created major damage to life and property,"
Shukla added. Reportedly, one of the arrested persons is wanted in connection
with the killing of Rashtriya Sikh Sangat chief, an affiliate of the radical Hindu
outfit Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Shukla further informed that the lethal
consignment was smuggled into the country from Pakistan.
