Jagroop Singh, a suspect in a railway track bombing attempt in Patiala, Punjab, died when an improvised explosive device detonated prematurely. Investigators found he had been in contact with a handler named Jujhar Singh in Malaysia through the encrypted messaging app Threema. Following the incident, Punjab Police uncovered a terror module linked to Pakistan and arrested four individuals, including the alleged kingpin Pradeep Singh Khalsa.
