Two people, including a woman, have been arrested in connection with a blast on the Anupgarh-Suratgarh railway line near 50 GB village in Rajasthan’s Sri Ganganagar district.

The accused, identified as Mahakdeep Kaur (21) and Davinder Singh (22), were arrested in a joint operation by the Rajasthan Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), Sri Ganganagar Police and Punjab Police.

Both accused are residents of Gurdaspur in Punjab.

According to an NDTV report quoting police officials, Kaur was in contact with two Pakistan-based handlers identified as ‘Chacha’ and ‘Shah’.

The handlers allegedly lured the woman through romantic conversations and financial assistance, a tactic that police sources said is frequently used by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

Kaur, who is reportedly living separately from her husband, is said to have received money from the handlers to carry out the blast on the railway line. Her husband is currently lodged in jail in connection with a drug trafficking case.

Police have also detained several other individuals suspected of being involved in the incident or assisting in its execution.

The incident occurred on November 3, when two cement pillars supporting the railway tracks were damaged in a suspected explosion near 50 GB village along the Anupgarh-Suratgarh railway line.

Police had earlier ruled out any connection between the incident and the recent recovery of 7.5 kg of RDX in the border region.

Further details are awaited.
