The Bathinda police have arrested the third accused in the petrol bomb attack on a homoeopathic clinic near the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) office. The arrest comes two days after two others were held in a joint operation with the Counter Intelligence wing.
The third accused, Sandeep Singh, was caught while trying to flee on the ring road. The police said he had allegedly come into contact with a foreign-based criminal network, though links to Pakistan-based terrorist Shahzad Bhatti were still being verified.
The clinic owner’s wife, Dr Rajni Jindal, claimed she received a WhatsApp call and messages from someone identifying himself as Bhatti shortly after the attack.
