Terrorist-Gangster Nexus: NIA Raids in Punjab Over Attack on Indian High Commission in Canada

New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is conducting searches at multiple locations in Punjab in connection with its probe into the attack on the Indian High Commission in Canada by pro-Khalistani supporters last year.

According to sources, the officials are conducting searches at 14 locations across Punjab on Friday, September 13.

The searches are being conducted as a part of the agency's anti-terror probe after a case was registered in June last year.

According to NIA's first information report (FIR), the case relates to a protest by pro-Khalistani supporters outside the Indian mission in Ottawa, Canada on March 23, 2023, "who raised anti-India slogan, tied Khalistani flags on the boundary wall of the High Commission and hurled two grenades inside the High Commission building."
