Punjab Police on Saturday said it has busted a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror module after arresting two residents of Jammu and Kashmir, as reported by the news agency PTI. According to the police, two improvised explosive devices, two hand grenades, a pistol, two magazines, 24 cartridges, a timer switch, eight detonators and four batteries were seized from them.

Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said that the operation was carried out by the State Special Operation Cell-Amritsar police along with a central agency. "In a major breakthrough, State Special Operation Cell -Amritsar in a joint operation with a central agency busted a LeT module and arrested two persons who are residents of Jammu and Kashmir," the Punjab Police chief posted on X.
