Punjab Police's Contradictory Statements and the Transfer of Commissioner Bhullar The Punjab police faced significant controversy after issuing conflicting statements regarding an alleged ISI-backed terror module linked to the Jantar-Mantar protest. Initially, the police claimed that members of the module had filmed the protest, but later retracted the statement, accusing social media users of manipulating the information. This led to the transfer of Amritsar police commissioner Gurpreet Bhullar, sparking political debates. The police first alleged that the module, allegedly supported by Pakistan's ISI, had filmed the protest. However, the next day, they clarified that the original statement had been misinterpreted. They stated that social media users had edited videos and added misleading captions, leading to confusion. The police emphasized that the accused individuals were not part of the protest and had no connection to the Jantar-Mantar movement. They also mentioned that the alleged plot involved targeting protesters with petrol bombs. On August 4, 2026, the Punjab police announced that they had dismantled a terror module linked to ISI. Nine individuals, including four minors, were arrested. The operation uncovered three illegal pistols, nine live cartridges, four petrol bombs, and a stolen motorcycle. The accused included individuals like Vansh Kumar and Anmol Singh, who were allegedly part of a network planning to disrupt security and incite unrest. The police also revealed that surveillance cameras near the railway tracks had been used to monitor activities, with funding allegedly provided by incarcerated individuals. The police later issued a clarification on August 6, 2026, stating that their initial statement had been misrepresented.#punjab_police #isil #ravneet_singh_bittu #jantar_mantar #gurpreet_bhullar
