Militants might strike capital before CWG: Punjab police

Chandigarh, Jul 23 (PTI) Pakistan-based Sikh
militants, supported by the ISI, might carry out bomb blasts
in New Delhi before the Commonwealth Games, the Punjab police
has alerted.
An advisory circulated recently among all senior
officers in Punjab state in north India by the intelligence
department of Punjab police has pointed out that Sikh militant
leaders based in Pakistan are under "tremendous pressure" from
the ISI to carry out sabotage activities in India before the
Games.
"Militant leaders, including Khalistan Zindabad Force
(KZF) chief Ranjit Singh Neeta are planning to undertake some
militant actions, including bomb blasts, before the Games
scheduled in New Delhi in October," the advisory said.
It also stated that around 15 kg RDX was smuggled into
India from Pakistan by Neeta's contacts which was divided
into three parts, most of which has been seized by police from
different places in the state including Ferozepur and Rajpura.
Intelligence sources of the state police have inputs
that Neeta could himself enter India if those directed to
carry out the nefarious designs failed in their task.
"Certain militants sitting abroad are desperate to
push four Sikh extremists into India to carry out nefarious
activities," the advisory said.
Meanwhile, police have been sensitised and directed
to take necessary preventive and detective measures to avoid
any untoward incident, official sources said. PTI
