A major breakthrough has been achieved in the investigation surrounding the Sriganganagar railway track explosion. A joint team comprising Rajasthan ATS and Sriganganagar police, with active cooperation from Punjab police, conducted a targeted operation in Gurdaspur. Two primary suspects were apprehended from the area during this coordinated raid. The detained individuals have been identified as 21-year-old Mehakdeep Kaur and 23-year-old Devendra Singh, both residents of Gurdaspur. According to law enforcement officials, both suspects played a direct role in executing the track blast.
Pakistan Connection And Weapon Recovery
Investigators have uncovered crucial leads pointing toward a cross-border connection with Pakistan. Security agencies are currently unearthing the conspiracy angles, the financial backing provided for the attack, and the wider network operating behind the scenes. During the search, authorities recovered two firearms and 46 cartridges from Mehakdeep Kaur. Additionally, a cash amount of 30,000 rupees, allegedly obtained for executing the blast, was also seized from her possession. Officials are tracing the source of this funding and identifying other conspirators linked to the plot.
Senior Officials Lead The Joint Operation
Recognizing the gravity of the incident, special teams from Rajasthan and Sriganganagar traveled to Punjab to track down the culprits. Local authorities in Gurdaspur provided critical logistical support to corner the suspects. To oversee the mission closely, ADG ATS Dinesh MN personally traveled to Gurdaspur and coordinated the operation alongside Punjab police leadership. The joint raiding team also included senior officers such as ASP Sriganganagar Nitin Chaudhary, ASP ATS Manish Sharma, and ASP ATS Surendra Singh.
Interrogation Of Accomplices And Upcoming Briefings
Following the primary arrests, the scope of the investigation has widened significantly. Several other associates connected to the suspects have been detained for questioning regarding the conspiracy, funding channels, and local contacts. Investigators believe that prolonged interrogation will reveal deeper layers of the terror network and expose additional participants. Authorities are continuing their comprehensive probe into all related aspects of the security breach.
