In a significant development, Delhi Police arrested a 22-year-old man named Karanbir, who is associated with the banned Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist group. The arrest pertains to a grenade attack on a police station in Punjab that occurred earlier this year.
Karanbir, also known as Karan, hails from Chananke village in Amritsar. He was apprehended on July 26 in Gurdaspur under the Arms Act.
