With the arrests, the sensational RPG attack incident at the Intelligence Headquarters in Mohali has been worked out.

The apprehended accused are important nodes of the joint terror network of Pakistan-based Khalistani terrorist Harvinder Singh alias Rinda and Canada-based gangster turned terrorist Lakhbir Singh Landa.

A rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) was fired at the Punjab Police’s intelligence headquarters in Mohali, Punjab in May.

The attackers were identified as a juvenile, r/o Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh and one Deepak, of Surakhpur, Haryana. It was also established that the attack was orchestrated by gangster turned ISI stooge Harvinder Singh alias Rinda.
