LUCKNOW: The man who made an internet call from the United Kingdom (UK) to two local youths in Pilibhit to arrange a hotel room for three alleged militants of the Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF), turned out to be a wanted militant of Babar Khalsa International (BKI), Kulbir Singh Sidhu, confirmed senior police officials.
The finding came during investigation by Pilibhit police and other security agencies, including UP anti-terror squad (ATS) and National Investigation Agency (NIA), the officials added. The three KZF militants were gunned down in an encounter in Uttar Pradesh's Pilibhit on December 23.
The NIA had declared a reward of ₹10 lakh on Sidhu, who is wanted in the sensational murder of Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Vikas Prabhakar alias Vikas Bagga, who was shot dead in his confectionary shop at Nangal in Rupnagar district on April 13.
The NIA had filed a charge-sheet against six people - two absconders, including Kulbir Sidhu, who is said to be based in UK for nine months now, Pakistan-based BKI chief Wadhwa Singh alias Babbar and three arrested accused in the case as per the NIA statement in October earlier this year.
Pilibhit superintendent of police (SP) Avinash Pandey reconfirmed that the wanted BKI militant Kulbir Singh Sidhu had called a local Pilibhit youth Jaspal Singh alias Sunny to arrange a hotel room for the three KZF militants on December 20.
