Activity
Four Babbar Khalsa International UK members were arrested and later bailed in July 2010 in connection with the murder of a Sikh leader in Punjab, India. Babbar Khalsa kept up a low level of activity until 1983. Its membership was drawn from ex-servicemen, police officers, and Sikh religious organizations. After Operation Bluestar the organization fell into disarray but was able to regroup and remained active.
During its highest period of activity Babbar Khalsa International had 27 subgroups operating under its direction. It specialized in the use of bombs, particularly RDX.
