The Delhi police have arrested four suspected Babbar Khalsa terrorists, who were planning a terror strike in the city.

"On December 31, acting on a specific information, Baljeet Singh alias Bahu, a resident of Mohali and Bikkar Singh alias Bant Singh Kal, a resident of Sanrur, were apprehended in Patiala and Sangrur respectively," stated a press release by the Delhi police.

 

Four pistols and 124 live cartridges have been recovered from these militants. The Delhi police also arrested Kulwinderjeet Singh, a resident of Ludhiana and Trilochan Singh, a resident of  Panchkula.

The terrorists, who were arrested on Thursday by the elite anti-terror wing Special Cell, were planning a terror strike in the capital.

These are the first arrests being made in the capital this year. Last year, 19 terrorists were arrested and four were killed in Delhi.
