The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has arrested an Indian national named Harpreet Singh from Sacramento, California.
According to Indian media, the arrested person, Harpreet Singh, belongs to the Sikh separatist party Babbar Khalsa International, and this party has been declared a terrorist organization in India.
