The Special Task Force (STF) of Uttarakhand Police has arrested Vikrant Kashyap, a 29-year-old man, for allegedly collaborating with Shehzad Bhatti, a Pakistan-based terrorist associated with the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Kashyap reportedly sent location details and photographs of key government and defense establishments in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, to his handlers in Pakistan. His motivations stemmed from a desire to avenge the death of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, who was murdered in May 2022 in Punjab's Mansa district. During his arrest, police seized a .32-bore pistol, seven live cartridges, and a spray-paint can from Kashyap's possession.
