“The UP ATS has arrested Javed, an arms supplier to Khalistani terrorists, from Hapur. Javed is a resident of the Kithore area of Meerut. His interrogation is on and the Punjab Police has been informed about the arrest”, the ATS Additional Director Dhruva Kant Thakur was quoted as saying.
The UP ATS in a statement said that Khan had also supplied a weapon to Dharminder Singh in Ludhiana who was involved in the murder of a senior RSS functionary Brig (retd) Jagdish Kumar Gagneja.
