Amritsar, September 24

Two days after the recovery of arms and ammunition and busting of a terrorist module, the Punjab Police today recovered a drone allegedly used by groups in Pakistan to drop weapons in the state. The cops acted on the confession of Akashdeep Singh and his accomplices.

Meanwhile, CM Capt Amarinder Singh said he was pursuing the matter with the Union Home Ministry. His political adviser Raveen Thukral said the CM had spoken to Amit Shah on the gravity of the situation two days ago.

Sources said following the abrogation of Article 370, the Pakistan-based ISI was trying to disturb peace in Punjab and enhance terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. The use of drones to smuggle  weapons across the heavily guarded Indo-Pak border was its new modus operandi. – TNS
