[OneIndia] Following the recovery of seven mobile phones, the investigating agencies are probing if the Ludhiana bomber was getting instructions from inside a jail.The police have sent the phones to the forensic laboratory for analysis. In the blast that took place at the Ludhiana Court complex on December 23, dismissed cop, Gagandeep Singh was killed and six others were injured.
Singh was dismissed from service in 2019 and had spent two years in the Ludhiana jail in connection with a drug related case. The phone seized by the police were used by Ranjit Singh and Sukhwinder Singh who were lodged with Gagandeep in the same jail. Gagandeep was out on bail in September.
Sources tell OneIndia that there were international calls too made from these numbers by Sukhwinder and Ranjit. The Indian Intelligence agencies had learnt that the plot to bomb the court complex was planned in Germany and Pakistan.
The CCTV footage shows that Gagandeep had used a bus to reach Ludhiana from Khanna on December 23, the day of the blast. Meanwhile the police have questioned both his wife and a girlfriend serving in the police force. The girlfriend was questioned as he was staying with her in a hotel before proceeding to Ludhiana.
Wife and fellow cop girlfriend, a Sikh bomb, and inappropriate drugs? His police captain was spoilt for choice. Probably just as well Gagandeep Singh alias Gaggi went kaboom, saving the good guys from having to do all that paperwork.
