NIA Interrogates Grenade Attack Accused Maninder Singh in Faridkot Jail

NIA Interrogates Grenade Attack Accused Maninder Singh in Faridkot JailPreviousNext

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) interrogated Maninder Singh, alias Bobby, at Faridkot's Central Modern Jail regarding the grenade attack on social media influencer Navdeep Singh's residence. The two-hour questioning focused on the attack's conspiracy, involved associates, and alleged handlers abroad. Maninder Singh, arrested in March 2025 and facing multiple criminal charges, was shifted to Faridkot jail two months ago. The investigation, initially by Punjab Police, was transferred to the NIA after links to Pakistan-based don Shahzad Bhatti emerged.
