Police have not been able to crack Manjinder’s social networking … – Times of India

LUDHIANA: Khalistani terrorist Manjinder Singh, alias Nikka, arrested by the Punjab Police counter-intelligence wing in a joint operation with Ludhiana cops on Sunday night, was operating and recruiting youth for his new organisation through his Facebook account. So far, the police have not been able to crack his Facebook account. The terrorist, who was a suspect in Ambala and Patiala bomb blasts in 2010 and later acquitted due to lack of evidence, was arrested from Kakowal Road when he had come to meet his friend. The police said he was setting up a new organisation for anti-national activities. A country-made pistol of .315 bore, two live cartridges and a bike were recovered from him. A police official said, "After coming out of jail last year, Nikka was recruiting youth for his new Khalistani outfit through Facebook. He would post about previous famous Khalistani leaders and approach like-minded youngsters. At times, his Facebook ID was operated from Canada. We are trying to crack the account. He was getting funds from Canada. We have also recovered a Pakistani SIM from his possession and traced a Pakistan number on which he interacted some time ago. Besides, the Indian SIM that he was using was issued on a fake ID proof." He said the terrorist was hatching a plan in the city. Former police commissioner Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, who arrested the terrorist with counter-intelligence wing of the Punjab Police, said, "Many angles have been revealed during interrogation and we are exploring all of these."
