Punjab, Nov 13: With a significant lead to grenade attack case in Punjab, the police nabbed an aide of Canada-based gangster-turned-terrorist Arsh Dalla on Wednesday.

Punjab’s Counter Intelligence, Bathinda, in a joint operation with Mansa police, arrested one of the key accused Shimla Singh, who hurled the grenade at a petrol pump here.

Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said, after the arrest of two shooters -- Anmolpreet Singh and Navjot Singh -- for their alleged involvement in the murder of Gurpreet Singh Hari Nau, alias Bhodi, who was also killed at the behest of terrorist Dalla on October 9, Shimla Singh was nabbed following rigorous raids.

Worth mentioning, on the night of October 26, a hand-grenade attack was carried out in Mansa. Following the explosion, the owner of the petrol pump had also received a threatening call from a foreign mobile number, wherein the caller claimed responsibility for the attack and demanded extortion of Rs 5 crore.

DGP Yadav said accused Shimla Singh during interrogation confessed that he had obtained the grenade from Garhshankar on instructions of terrorist Dalla.

Shimla Singh had also provided logistical assistance to the shooters involved in the Gurpreet Singh Hari Nau murder case, the DGP added.
