Chandigarh, June 18 (UNI) In an intelligence-led operation, the State Special Operation Cell (SSOC) Mohali has arrested a key operative of banned outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) in Barnala district, said Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav here on Wednesday.
Preliminary investigation revealed that in the first week of June, accused Resham Singh, a resident of Hamidi, allegedly vandalized the statue of Dr B R Ambedkar at Nangal in Phillaur (Jalandhar), acting on the directions of USA-based Surinder Singh Thikriwal—a wanted criminal in multiple UAPA cases—and SFJ chief Gurpatwant Singh Pannu.
DGP Yadav said that Resham Singh had been absconding since the incident. He is also accused of repeatedly defacing public property with Pro-Khalistan and Pro-SFJ graffiti in Patiala, Faridkot, Jalandhar and other districts.
