Close Aide of Khalistani Terrorist Rode Caught at Amritsar Airport

Amritsar: Paramjit Singh, a close associate of Khalistani terrorist Lakhbir Singh Rode, who died in Pakistan a day back, was arrested at Amritsar airport on Tuesday, while he was trying to escape to London on a fake passport.

The State Special Operation Cell (SSOC) of Punjab Police nabbed Paramjit Singh, alias Punjab Singh, alias Dhadi from Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, Amritsar.

A lookout circular (LoC) issued against him led to his arrest. “In a major breakthrough, SSOC Amritsar has arrested #UK-based, Paramjit Singh @ Punjab Singh @ Dhadi from #Amritsar airport. An associate of Lakhbir Rode, the chief of the banned terrorist outfit #ISYF, Dhadi has been involved in terror funding & other subversive activities in #Punjab,” tweeted director general of police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav on Tuesday.

Rode, who was the International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF)’s self-styled chief and nephew of slain Khalistani militant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, died of a cardiac arrest in Pakistan. He was listed as an ‘individual terrorist’ by India under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.
