Ayodhya: 3 Suspects Arrested by the UP Anti-Terrorist Squad...


Senior police authorities in this city announced on friday that the UP Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) had discovered Khalistan connections among three suspects detained in ayodhya on thursday, three days prior to the "Pran Pratishtha" ritual. According to the official, suspicions about the three intensified after a voicemail left by leaders of Khalistan made its way onto certain lucknow residents' cell phones. 

There was a male voice on the recorded message. A man posing as the terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a dual citizen of the US and Canada, addressed chief minister Yogi Adityanath in the message, claiming that the consecration of the ram temple would not save him and that Sikh for Justice (SFJ), a US-based organization that supports Punjab's secession from India, would hold the UP cm accountable on january 22.

The source stated that the recorded communication also revealed the arrest of two members of the SFJ from Ayodhya. Ajit Kumar Sharma, pradeep Puniya, and shankar Dussad, also known as shankar Jajod, are rajasthan residents, according to UP police Director General (DG) prashant Kumar. He stated that Ajit Kumar Sharma lived in the Jhunjhunu district, while shankar Dussad and pradeep Puniya resided in the Sikar district. He added that Dussad had communication with Pannun via another arms smuggler operating out of Canada, Lakhbir Singh Sandhu, also known as Landa. According to him, Dussad was instructed by the Khalistan authorities to visit ayodhya and create a map of the location. According to him, Dussad and his two accomplices were apprehended on thursday during the car's inspection in front of the Trimurti Hotel in Ayodhya.

 According to Kumar, Dussad disclosed that he had enlisted the assistance of two of his associates to carry out a reconnaissance of ayodhya and create a map. The officers added that the three were still being questioned and that Dussad had placed the saffron flag on the SUV to prevent police from suspecting them. According to the ATS inspectors, Dussad had two distinct identity documents found on him. According to an ATS official, Dussad was using a SIM card in the name of Dharamveer Mahala, and the registration documents for his SUV were also fake.
