CHANDIGARH :  Punjab Police has arrested two persons who were allegedly tasked with carrying out targeted killings of rival gang members in the state by their handlers based abroad, a top officer said on Sunday.

This was part of a larger conspiracy to spread terror and unrest in the state, Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav said.

"In a major breakthrough, Gurdaspur Police arrests two accused -- Lovedeep Singh @ Love and Tek Chand @ Tinku -- who are being handled by foreign-based radicalised gangsters Gurdev Jassal and Gurlal @ Gullu associated with Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist organisation.
