NIA Raids in Punjab and Haryana Linked to Khalistan Terrorist Force, Terror Alert Issued

The raids follow intelligence inputs suggesting a heightened threat of terror attacks in Punjab and neighboring states.

NIA Raids in Punjab and Haryana Latest News: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted extensive raids across multiple districts in Punjab and Haryana on December 11, uncovering alarming connections to the proscribed Khalistan Terrorist Force (KTF) and its Canada-based operative, Arsh Dala. The raids, part of an ongoing investigation into a gangster-terror nexus, have heightened concerns about potential terrorist activities in the region.

The coordinated searches were carried out in Punjab districts including Bathinda, Muktsar Sahib, Moga, Ferozepur, Sangrur, and Mansa, as well as in Sirsa, Haryana. These operations targeted individuals linked to arrested accused Baljeet Maur and associates of KTF operatives.

Incriminating Evidence Seized

NIA teams seized a cache of digital devices, mobile phones, and documents believed to contain crucial evidence. Investigators are analyzing the materials as they delve deeper into the network’s operations. Officials revealed that the case, registered earlier this year, aims to dismantle terror outfits attempting to recruit India-based operatives to execute attacks, raise funds through extortion, and smuggle arms into the country.

Terror Threat and Recruitment Networks

According to sources, foreign-based handlers of the KTF, including Arsh Dala, are actively recruiting cadres within India to carry out terror strikes. Investigators uncovered plans to move illegal arms and ammunition into India using covert methods, such as the dead-drop model, where weapons are concealed at secret locations for operatives to retrieve.

The raids follow intelligence inputs suggesting a heightened threat of terror attacks in Punjab and neighboring states. Security agencies are on high alert to prevent any such attempts.

Heightened Security Measures

A senior official stated, “These raids are part of our efforts to dismantle the nexus between criminal gangs and terrorist outfits. The evidence seized points to a sophisticated network operating with foreign support to destabilize the region. We are taking all necessary precautions to ensure public safety.”

The NIA’s operations underscore the growing concern over foreign-based Khalistani elements leveraging local networks to foment unrest. As the investigation progresses, authorities remain focused on neutralizing potential threats and ensuring regional stability.
