On December 29, the police had arrested three persons — Ramdas Singh, a contractual employee from Toosa village of Ludhiana; Sukhkiran Singh Sukha, also from Toosa village; and Shabir Ali, hailing from Sirmaur in Himachal Pradesh.
After taking pictures of the Air Force station, in connivance with his two accomplices, Ramdas shared these with ISI agents in Pakistan and other countries.
Police sources said on the directions of an ISI agent and some Khalistani militants, the three were luring youth on Facebook for pursuing anti-national agenda in Punjab. “When the police checked Facebook and other social media accounts of the accused, many youth were found in touch with them. They discussed Khalistani activities in Punjab. Youth were even being assured that weapons would be supplied to them,” said a police source.
