NIA conducts raids to investigate attack on India High Commission in London
The High Commission of India in London was attacked in March by a group of about 50 persons, who committed criminal trespass, causing disrespect to the Indian National flag.
Earlier this month, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) raided 31 locations across Punjab and Haryana in order to uncover the conspiracy behind the March 19 attack on the High Commission of India in London.
As per a release by the agency, the officials seized digital data containing information related to the accused persons involved in the attack on the High Commission and other incriminating documents and evidence. The districts where these searches took place include Moga, Barnala, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Tarn Taran, Ludhiana, Gurdaspur, SBS Nagar, Amritsar, Mukhtsar, Sangrur, Patiala, Mohali in Punjab and Sirsa in Haryana.
The High Commission of India in London was attacked in March by a group of about 50 persons, who committed criminal trespass, caused disrespect to the Indian National flag, damage to public property and injuries to officials of the High Commission of India.
The attack was organised by Gurcharan Singh, Dal Khalsa, UK; Avtar Singh Khanda of KLF, Jasvir Singh and many of their associates, both Indian and foreign nationals, who have been identified during the ongoing NIA investigations.
An investigation team from the NIA had visited the UK in May 2023 to probe the attack. Subsequently, a crowdsourcing of information was also carried out to identify and collect information about UK-based entities and individuals involved in the incident, based on which the agency identified many of the attackers.
"The NIA is leaving no stone unturned to pinpoint culpability in the London attack and arrest the perpetrators, their associates and their supporters, based in India and abroad. It has been carrying out extensive investigations into the incident with a view to ensuring there is no repeat of such breach of security, disrespect to the Indian National Flag or any threat to Indian interests abroad," the agency said.
