National Investigation Agency today conducted searches at several locations in Punjab in connection with its probe into the attack on the Indian High Commission in Canada alleged by pro-Khalistan supporters.
The searches were conducted in Moga, Amritsar, Gurdaspur, and Jalandhar. Last year, the agency had registered a case over a protest by pro-Khalistani supporters outside the Indian mission in Ottawa.
The case relates to 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”, according to the NIA’s first information report (FIR).
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Punjab Police personnel conducted searches at the properties of jailed Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh’s relatives in Amritsar district on Friday as part of the probe into the attack on the Indian high commission in Canada by Khalistan supporters, officials said.
