The IGP/Zone-2 informed that investigations have revealed that Harmeet Singh @ Pintu and Karanjit Singh @ Pamma with their associates had formed a terrorist gang for the purposes of committing terrorist acts with the intention to strike fear among the people. This module was controlled by Harminder Singh @ Mintu, Chief of  Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) and Ranjit Singh @ Neeta, Chief of  Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF). The two terrorist outfits had decided to combine their resources and operatives to launch a spectacular and determined terrorist attack in the near future by committing terrorist acts.
