All have been booked under relevant sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and the Explosives Act.<\/p>\n<p>According to the investigation, Kulbir Singh, a member of the banned terror outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), along with his associate Manish alias Kaka Rana, formed a terror module to intimidate prominent politicians in Punjab and extort money.
