An alarming connection between ISI and a few jobless young people in Punjab has been uncovered by the investigation. According to reports, ISI has been enticing jobless individuals with cash and drugs in order to use them as sleeper cells for targeted murders in Punjab.
For the job, ISI brought in a Punjabi citizen from Nava Shehar who had recently visited Portugal in search of work. Despite being promised a job, ISI agents managed to trap him. He was given the mission of tracking down and killing drug-addled young people in Punjab.
Additionally, the police have learned that the shooters who killed Vikas Bagga received payment of Rs 70,000 for their services. It has been reported that ISI agents stationed in Portugal gave the order for the attack.
The terrorist organization Babbar Khalsa International, which has its headquarters in Pakistan, is thought to be connected to the masterminds of these operations.
Criminal organizations frequently keep an eye out for drug addicts. The well-known Punjabi singer was shot by a drug suspect in the Sidhu Moosewala murder case in exchange for a few thousand rupees.
