Amritsar (The Uttam Hindu): The counter intelligence team of Punjab Police has achieved a major success in Amritsar by busting a terrorist module supported by Pakistani intelligence agency ISI. This action has averted a possible terrorist attack in the state. The police have arrested a member of the module and are interrogating him intensively.
