"All the accused have been charged with criminal conspiracy to unleash a wave of terror under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act,” an NIA spokesperson said. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday filed a second supplementary chargesheet against four accused in a case related to a nexus between Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist group and the organised criminal gang of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
“The charge sheet was filed in a special NIA court against Darman Singh alias Darmanjot Kahlon, Parveen Wadhwa alias Prince, Yudhvir Singh alias Sadhu, and Vikas Singh. All the accused have been charged with criminal conspiracy to unleash a wave of terror under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act,” an NIA spokesperson said.
“Kahlon is one of the key links between Canada-based BKI operative Lakhbir Singh alias Landa and Lawrence Bishnoi’s terror and crime syndicate. Operating from the United States, he has been actively involved in a range of criminal activities, including the smuggling of weapons, explosives and heroin into India from Pakistan,” an NIA official said.
“Prince is one of the associates of the Lawrence Bishnoi terror syndicate. Investigations indicate Prince was instrumental in coordinating communication channels, enabling seamless interactions among gang members. Sadhu has figured as the chief arms procurer for the Lawrence Bishnoi terror syndicate. Sadhu’s role and expertise extends to facilitating the procurement of arms and ammunition from foreign countries,” the spokesperson said.
“Vikas Singh has been involved in providing sanctuary to gang members involved in executing terror attacks and criminal operations. He provided safe harbour to gang members responsible for the RPG terror attack at the Punjab Police State Intelligence Headquarters in Mohali,” the spokesperson said.
