In a major revelation in connection with the Nabha jailbreak case, it has emerged that two days before the incident, Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) chief Harminder Singh Mintoo had a Skype conversation with his handler Harmeet, another member of the outfit who had managed to flee to Pakistan.

Rs one lakh was to be handed over to him on November 27 by Tajinder Sharma, the owner of a sweet shop near Nabha jail, hours before the jail break.Tajinder, however, could not reach the jail on time, the TOI report says.
