Massive Anti-Terror Raids Lead to Multiple Detentions and Seizures of Weapons and Ammo at 51 Locations

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) detained several individuals in a multi-state crackdown on the nexus between criminal syndicates in India and Khalistani separatists and terrorists based in countries like Pakistan and Canada. The raids targeted gangs run by Lawrence Bishnoi and Canada-based Arshdeep Dalla, recovering a large quantity of arms, ammunition, and digital evidence. The NIA aims to build a strong case against these syndicates, which are primarily operated from Dubai and linked to cases filed last year under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The crackdown comes amid a diplomatic row between India and Canada, with the Canadian Prime Minister claiming "credible" information connecting "agents of Delhi" to the killing of a Khalistani terrorist.
