'Prevented a major terror incident': BSF‐Punjab Police bust arms haul in Amritsar’s Bharopal village

NEW DELHI: A joint team of the Border Security Force and Punjab Police recovered a cache of arms and ammunition, including two hand grenades, from a village in Amritsar district, a BSF official said on Thursday.

The operation was carried out near Bharopal village on Wednesday evening. Among the items seized were two hand grenades, three pistols with six magazines, and 50 live rounds.
"The swift and coordinated action with Punjab Police has prevented a possible major terror incident," the BSF official stated.
This marks one of the significant recoveries of weapons and explosives near the International Border in the past week.
Just days earlier, a similar joint operation in Sahowal village, also in Amritsar, had led to the seizure of five hand grenades, 4.50 kg of RDX, four pistols, 220 rounds, two remote controls, and a battery charger.
