MALERKOTLA, March 28 -- Punjab Police, in coordination with Jammu and Kashmir Police, have arrested two suspected terrorists linked to Pakistan. The two suspects, identified as Abbu Gaba and Usman, were arrested in Malerkotla, where they had been living as tenants for a long time.

The Malerkotla police learnt about the duo during an inquiry of a local drug peddler detained as part of the ongoing Yudh Nashian Virudh anti-drug campaign. Their identities reportedly matched those of two wanted terrorists listed in Jammu and Kashmir.

Though the police have not issued any official statement so far, multiple police sources and residents of Sherwani Kote village (under Sandaur police station) have confirmed the police action.
