In a joint operation between Punjab and Uttar Pradesh police, three suspected Khalistani terrorists were neutralized in Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh. The terrorists were allegedly involved in the 2024 Gurdaspur grenade attack, an event that had triggered widespread panic and insecurity in the region. During the encounter, the police recovered weapons, including two AK-47 rifles, two Glock pistols, and a large quantity of ammunition.
This operation marks a significant blow to the Khalistani militant network operating within India. The police forces continue their crackdown against terrorism and separatist movements that threaten national security. The collaboration between Punjab and Uttar Pradesh authorities in such operations reflects the growing unity among states to combat terrorism.
