Khalistani terrorist Harminder Singh Mintoo, who escaped from a high security jail in Punjab yesterday, has been arrested near Delhi on Monday. Five other escaped convicts remain missing.

Mintoo and the others made their escape when a group of armed men in police uniforms stormed Punjab’s Nabha Central Jail early on Sunday.

49-year-old Mintoo, the head of the Khalistan Liberation Force, is an accused in more than 10 terror-related cases, including the attack on Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim.

He was arrested from Delhi’s IGI airport in November 2014. The state police said he was trying to revive the KLF and had had close contact with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence officers.

After the jailbreak, the opposition Congress accused Punjab’s Parkash Singh Badal government of “complicity” and said it triggered fears of revival of terrorism in the state ahead of the elections in the state next year.
