NIA Conducts Raids in Punjab and Haryana in Terror-Gangster Network Probe Linked to Shahzad Bhatti
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted coordinated raids at 18 locations across Punjab and Haryana to investigate three terror-gangster network cases linked to Pakistan-based terrorist Shahzad Bhatti. The searches targeted Bhatti's associates and seized digital devices and documents related to communication and financial activities. The probe connects Bhatti to attacks including a 2025 grenade attack in Jalandhar and blasts in Sirsa and Ballabgarh. Separately, the NIA conducted a third raid at a Mansa youth's residence over alleged links to Bhatti, questioning him and reviewing bank statements without seizing items.
