Former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh's assassin and Khalistan Tiger Force commander Jagtar Singh 'Tara' has been arrested in Thailand.
According to reports, Thai authorities, acting on a tip-off from the Punjab Police, arrested Tara from the house of a member of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI).
Tara is accused of planning the suicide attack on Beant Singh in 1995 in Chandigarh, an act of terror that resulted in the death of 18 people.
The Khalistan Tiger Force commander and his accomplices Paramjit Singh Bheora, Jagtar Singh Hawara and Dev Singh were arrested after the incident but escaped from the high security Burail Jail in Chandigarh.
According to reports, Tara was living in Thailand under a Pakistani passport.
