The country’s security agencies have achieved a major success. Dangerous terrorist Kashmira Singh, a resident of Punjab who had been on the run for a long time, has been apprehended by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Bihar. Kashmira Singh came into the limelight when he shot and seriously injured Shiv Sena state deputy chief Harvinder Soni at Fish Park in Gurdaspur nearly 20 years ago. Following this incident, he was arrested and sent to the high-security Nabha jail.
