LUCKNOW: UP anti-terrorism squad arrested a man for supplying arms to Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF), from Hapur on Sunday.
An official privy to the investigation said the accused, Javed Khan, is a close aide of Ashish, the right hand man of KLF chief Gugni Grewal aka Harmeet Singh. Javed has so far supplied 50 pistols to the group.
The arrest was made after information about Javed’s movement was shared by the Punjab police last week.

According to ATS officials, Ashish had a role in the murder of RSS and Shiv Sena workers in 2016. He was arrested by UP ATS on February 1 this year.
Weapons provided by Javed also led to the killing of RSS leader, Brig (retd) Jagdish Kumar Gagneja, in which Ashish was also involved. National Investigation Agency (NIA) is currently working on the case.
ADG, ATS, DK Thakur said Javed was also accused in other cases, including illegal sale of liquor since 1997 in Meerut. “Javed has supplied at least 50 pistols to KLF. He supplied three pistols on the direction of Dharmendra Singh, an active member of KLF, who is currently lodged in Tihar jail. Javed came in touch with Dharmendra in October last year,” Thakur said.
He added that a hunt was on for other associates and members of the organisation. Sources in the ATS said the call detail record of Javed was scanned which revealed some numbers from Pakistan.
