Panchkula, Sept. 23 -- Investigation into the September 13 Panchkula club firing case, in which a woman was injured, has allegedly led the Haryana anti-terrorist squad (ATS) to an international narco-terror network. ATS superintendent of police (SP) Varun Singla revealed that seven persons, aged between 20 and 25, hailing from Ludhiana and Ferozepur districts of Punjab, had been arrested for the firing at Alif Laila club in Panchkula. While initially the local police were investigating the matter, the recovery of the Turkish-made Zigana pistol from one of the accused revealed the seriousness of the matter. For perspective, the import of Zigana pistol is banned in India and the only way it is made available is through illegal channels. Investigations over the years have revealed that these pistols are smuggled from Pakistan via drones along the border districts of Punjab. The weapon used in the Chandigarh chemist shop murder was also a Zigana. Singla said sustained interrogation of the accused revealed that they were part of a network involved in transporting weapons, narcotics and drug money locally after these were drone-dropped in border areas. The accused also revealed that their handlers, based abroad mostly in the United States, provided them accommodation, vehicles and money to facilitate the transportation of the contraband to the designated locations. During its raids, the ATS recovered a cache of weapons, including a US-made pistol, drugs, cash-counting machines among others....
