The recent grenade attack at the residence of senior BJP leader and former Punjab Cabinet Minister in Jalandhar has once again spotlighted the growing nexus between cross-border terror outfits and organized crime syndicates in India. According to credible sources in the Punjab Police, the attack was orchestrated by Zeeshan Akhtar, a known associate of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Akhtar is also a key suspect in the murder case of a prominent political figure from Maharashtra and is currently on the run.
Police sources have revealed that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is actively involved in a conspiracy to incite communal tension and destabilize Punjab. The attack, allegedly planned from across the border, was part of a larger plot to disturb the state’s religious harmony and trigger fear among political figures and the public alike.
The grenade explosion, which occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, damaged property at the residence of the BJP leader, including an aluminum partition, glass windows, and nearby vehicles. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, although the BJP leader was present in the house at the time. The timely response from law enforcement helped control the situation, and further investigations were launched immediately.
This incident adds to a concerning trend of similar blasts that have rocked Punjab in recent months. Within the last year alone, the state has witnessed a dozen such explosions, prompting increased scrutiny of the government’s internal security measures. The latest attack has intensified political heat, with Opposition parties strongly criticizing the state’s leadership and questioning its effectiveness in maintaining law and order.
Interestingly, after the attack, a terror outfit known as Babbar Khalsa International claimed responsibility. The claim was made by terrorist Happy Passia, a name that has repeatedly emerged during investigations into several recent bombings. Security officials are now examining the growing evidence suggesting operational collaboration between the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, Khalistani extremist groups, and Pakistan’s ISI.
In a significant breakthrough, the Punjab Police have detained the person who allegedly hurled the grenade and have also seized the e-rickshaw used in the execution of the attack. The captured suspect is being interrogated, and authorities are hopeful this will lead to a larger network being exposed and neutralized.
Another figure under the security radar is gangster Jeevan Fauji, believed to have played a role in various attacks, including those targeting police stations in Amritsar. Both he and Happy Passia are thought to be key players in this new wave of hybrid warfare where terrorism is blending with organized crime to carry out localized strikes, especially against law enforcement and political figures.
Security agencies are now intensifying their surveillance and counter-terror operations in border districts and urban centers. The suspected involvement of foreign handlers and radical elements signals a need for tighter inter-agency coordination and robust policy responses to tackle this new security paradigm.
