According to sources, Jasprit Singh is believed to have links with a Khalistani terrorist group. However, Gurinder Veer Singh, DSP detective Batala, stated that the details surrounding the case are still unclear, and an investigation is currently underway to establish the facts.

Thanks to the swift action and utilization of technical intelligence by the Alipurduar Police, Jasprit Singh was located and captured at a hotel in the Jaigaon supermarket area.

“A source said that during the raid process, two improvised pistols (firearms) in a loaded and cocked state were recovered. The apprehension process was strenuous, and the police faced resistance from the accused. Alipurduar SP Y. Raghuvamshi was present in Jaigaon during the evening of the apprehension. “The joint efforts of the West Bengal Police and Punjab Police ensured the success of the operation.

On July 5th, Jasprit Singh was handed over to the Punjab police. The DSP mentioned that the suspect would be presented before the court before being transported back to Punjab to undergo further legal proceedings.

Being an international border town, Jaigaon has always been a sensitive area prone to becoming a hideout for criminals. The success of this joint operation highlights the effectiveness of collaboration between different law enforcement agencies in curbing criminal activities in such areas.

The apprehension of Jasprit Singh underscores the commitment and vigilance of the police forces in maintaining law and order and ensuring the safety of citizens. The ongoing investigation will shed light on the exact nature of Jasprit Singh’s involvement and any potential links to the Khalistani terrorist group. It will also address any potential threats to national security.

Sources claim that Jasprit was on the verge of crossing the border and entering Bhutan or Nepal.
