Chandigarh/ Patiala: Punjab police declared to have achieved a major success by arresting Ramandeep Singh ‘Goldy’ from Chennai airport in the intervening night of November 5-6. The police claimed that Ramandeep Singh Goldy is a top Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) operative.

However, Goldy managed to slip away to Malaysia. He was further tracked down in Malaysia and in co-ordination with the central agencies and Malaysian authorities was brought to Chennai in the wee hours of November 6 by Punjab police party headed by Sohal and was arrested at the Chennai airport.

A Hindustan Times report says [t]he arrest of Ramandeep ‘Goldy’ comes close on the heels of the arrest of Rattandeep Singh, the chief of the Bhindranwale Tiger Force of Khalistan (BTFK) and former top associate of Paramjit Singh Panjwar and Wadhawa Singh from Gorakhpur, UP by a police party of the State Special Operation Cell (SSOC) on September 17, 2014. Rattandeep Singh was based in Pakistan since 1993 and was wanted in numerous cases of bomb blasts. He carried a cash reward of Rs10 lakhs.

Media reports say [t]he Counter Intelligence Wing of the Punjab police has started an exercise of tracking the wanted militants who are staying abroad. In this process, intelligence leads about the whereabouts of Ramandeep Singh ‘Goldy’ were received, developed and shared with the central agencies. A two-member police party including Rajinder Singh Sohal and Inspector Mandeep Singh was sent to Thailand where it camped for three weeks from September 19 to October 11 for liaison and co-ordination with the Thai authorities and the central agencies. Goldy was successfully traced and tracked in Thailand but managed to slip away to Malaysia. The Punjab police pursued him and Goldy’s trail was again picked-up and he was located in Malaysia.

According to police claims Ramandeep Singh ‘Goldy’ came into contact with Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) operative Darshan Singh who introduced him to the UK-based operative Paramjit Singh ‘Pamma’.
