Uttar Pradesh, 23rd Dec. In a significant security operation, three suspected Khalistani terrorists were killed in an encounter with a joint team of Uttar Pradesh and Punjab Police in Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh. The individuals were reportedly linked to a recent grenade attack on a Punjab police outpost in Gurdaspur, which had raised concerns about escalating extremist activities.
The operation led to the recovery of a substantial cache of weapons, including two AK assault rifles and two Glock pistols, underscoring the armed capability of the group. Security agencies have commended the coordinated effort between state forces, which was instrumental in neutralizing the threat.
This encounter highlights India’s ongoing struggle against separatist movements and the importance of robust intelligence-sharing and joint operations among state police forces. Authorities continue to investigate the network associated with the trio, aiming to dismantle any remaining threat to national security.
