The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on 6th Jan 2024 attached four properties owned by members of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s organized terror-crime syndicate.
As per the NIA statement, the properties, of which three were immovable and one movable, were attached in a coordinated swoop by NIA teams in Haryana and Punjab under the provisions of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.
NIA found all these properties to be proceeds of terrorism used for hatching terror conspiracies and executing serious crimes.
The NIA had registered a case against the organised crime syndicate of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his associates under UA(P)A in August 2022.
