Punjab Police Foils Terror Bid; Grenades, Bombs Found In Forest Area

A cache of terrorist hardware, including grenades and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) were recovered from a forested area in Punjab, in a crackdown on terror outfits in the wake of escalating India-Pakistan tensions after the Pahalgam attack.

Two rocket-propelled grenades, two IEDs, five P-86 hand grenades and one wireless communication set were recovered in a joint operation, marking a major breakthrough against cross-border terror networks backed by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence.

Preliminary probe indicates a coordinated operation by the ISI and allied terror outfits to revive sleeper cells in Punjab, per Punjab's Director General of Police.
