Haryana, 17th May 2023: The National Investigation Agency today conducted surprise searches across 100 places in over 6 Indian states.
Officials raided spots in Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. The agency co-ordinated with the state police forces and launched the mission early morning on Wednesday. The raids are still in progress and are conducted in connection to the suspected involvement of people in three separate cases lodged with the NIA last year.
The agency on January 25 this year arrested one Deepak Ranga, the main shooter in the RPG attack on Punjab Police Intelligence Headquarters in Mohali in May 2022 in its case RC-37/2022/NIA/DLI, from Uttar Pradesh’s Gorakhpur. This was owing to the fact that he was a close associate of Canada-based gangster-turned-terrorist Lakhbir Singh Sandhu alias Landa and Pakistan-based gangster-turned-terrorist Harvinder Singh Sandhu alias Rinda.
Deepak has been implicated in various other violent terrorist and criminal activities, including violent killings, in addition to his role in the May RPG attack. Rinda and Landa have actively provided him with terror financing and logistical support.
