London: Twelve people
have so far been arrested for an attempt on the life of Lt. Gen. (retd)
K.S. Brar, who led an Indian Army operation into the Golden Temple
in Punjab in 1984, police said Friday.
The Counter Terrorism Command of London Metropolitan Police held
eight people Friday, including a 38-year-old woman, for the Sep 30
attack on 78-year-old Brar.
Earlier, a 33-year-old man and a woman were arrested in
Wolverhampton Thursday. A third person, a 34-year-old man, was
held in West Bromwich. The fourth person nabbed is a 25-year-old
man.
All the accused are currently lodged in police stations in central
London and west London.
The police are also carrying out searches in different residential
addresses in South Shields, Birmigham and London for more
suspects, appealing to the public for information.
Brar, who was on the hit-list of Sikh militant groups, was on a
private visit to London when he was attacked by four men "wearing
dark clothing and long black jackets".
The retired general and his wife Meena returned to India Oct 3.
