The investigation leading to Singh's arrest traces back to 2020 when the Special Operations Cell (SSOC) in Amritsar received intelligence about KZF terrorist Jagdish Singh Bhura's plans to target high-profile individuals in Punjab.

This information led to the arrest of four operatives linked to the proscribed outfit and the recovery of arms and ammunition from their possession.

Following these arrests, a case was registered under relevant provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and the Arms Act at the Police Station State Special Operation Cell, Amritsar. During interrogation, the detained individuals disclosed their association with Bhura and Prabhpreet Singh, revealing plans for attacks on high-profile targets.

Since Prabhpreet Singh was living in Germany, Punjab Police got a Look Out Circular issued against him through the Bureau of Immigration, New Delhi, to facilitate his arrest.

"On Wednesday, immigration authorities at the IGI Airport in Delhi informed us about the detention of Prabhpreet Singh. Subsequently, a team of SSOC Amritsar rushed to Delhi and arrested the accused," said the DGP.
