Three suspects in the stabbing of Iranian presenter Pouria Zeraati fled the U.K. shortly after the attack, prompting a counterterrorism investigation by British police. Zeraati, a presenter at Iran International, was stabbed outside his London home, and while the motive remains unclear, his occupation and recent threats to U.K.-based Iranian journalists triggered the investigation. Police have disrupted "a number" of plots targeting enemies of the Iranian government in the U.K. and are working with international partners to establish further details about the suspects' whereabouts.

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.
