COMBINED forces of the Bureau of Immigration, the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center, and the Military Intelligence Group raided an apartment in Iloilo City and arrested 3 suspected members of the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), a Sikh extremist group originating from India.
The well-coordinated lightning strike by operatives caught members of the militant group flatfooted and did not attempt to resist heavily armed troops who swooped into their apartment in an exclusive subdivision at dawn on March 7.
CICC Executive Director Alexander K. Ramos attributed the successful operation to the proper and speedy coordination among agencies involved which was harnessed as a result of the establishment of the National Cybercrime Hub at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.
The operation is in line with the standing order of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. to go after domestic and foreign criminal elements.
“The President will not tolerate any foreign terrorist to set foot in the country,” said Alexander Ramos, CICC Executive Director.
Bureau of Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco identified the cell group as Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) a Sikh extremist militant group originating from India.
The BI identified the suspects as Manpreet Singh, 23; Amritpal Singh, 24; and Arshdeep Singh, 26, all Indian nationals, were nabbed in Iloilo City.
