Haryana Police seized three IEDs, one pistol with two magazines, and Rs 1.30 lakhs in cash from the possession of accused named Gurpreet Singh alias Gopi, Amandeep Singh alias Deepa, Parminder Singh alias Pinder, and Bhupinder Singh on May 5, 2022. They had stored the terror hardware consignment in a specially designed cavity in their Innova MUV for delivery in Adilabad, Telangana, at the behest of Rinda.
During investigations, it was discovered that the accused, Gurpreet, Amandeep, Akash, Sukhbeer, and Jarmalpreet, had received multiple consignments of arms, ammunition, explosives, and narcotics sent from Pakistan by terrorist Harwinder Singh Sandhu via drones at predetermined locations near the Indo-Pakistan border.
