Police deny arrest of Shingar cinema bomb blast suspect

Ludhiana, Dec 25 (UNI) The Punjab Police today denied arrest of Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) activist Gurpreet Singh, the main suspect in the Shingar cinema bomb blast on October 14, which killed six migrant labourers and left 33 others injured.

Referring to reports in a section of the media, SSP R K Jaiswal claimed here today that these were just rumours.

Reports in the media claimed that Gurpreet was arrested by a special police team from near the Nepal border. He was also wanted in the three kg RDX seizure from his car near Mullanpur village on September 2.

The police was yet to establish a link between the cinema blast and the four BKI activists arrested last week in Phagwara. The four were part of a BKI module who were assigned the task of targeting certain VIPs including Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Raheem Singh.
