Based on information provided by the duo during interrogation, authorities arrested two additional suspects, Vishavjit from Kolkata and Jackson from Nakodar.
Vishavjit was apprehended while attempting to flee to Malaysia. The recovery of the hand grenade was a direct result of these arrests.
Investigations revealed that the accused were operating under instructions from Canada-based masterminds, Zeeshan Akhtar and Ajay Gill.
