NIA Details Recruitment of Ghaziabad Man by Pakistani Terrorist in Ambala Blast Case
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) revealed that Pakistani terrorist Shahzad Bhatti recruited a 25-year-old Ghaziabad man, Satyam, via social media to transport an explosives-laden vehicle from Ferozpur to Ambala in January. Bhatti later instructed Satyam to withdraw after learning he was traveling with a friend, which risked compromising the plan. The low-intensity IED blast outside Ambala's Baldev Nagar police station was claimed by the Khalistan Liberation Army, with investigations tracing the responsible account to Pakistan. The NIA has charged eight individuals, including Bhatti and Satyam.
