NIA releases list of 43 criminals, many with Canada & Khalistan links

NEW DELHI: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday issued details of 43 most-wanted criminals, many of them associated with terror-gangster networks having links to Canada or the Khalistan movement.
Urging the public to share details of properties and assets of the criminals, which can be taken over by the Centre, the NIA in its post issued pictures of Lawrence Bishnoi, Jasdeep Singh, Kala Jatheri alias Sandeep, Virender Pratap alias Kala Rana and Joginder Singh along with their names.
It highlighted that many of these gangsters are based in Canada.

"Persons shown in photos below are accused in the NIA Cases RC-38/2022/NIA/DLI or RC-39/2022/NIA/DLI. If you has any information about properties/assets/ business owned by them in their name or in name of their associates, friends & relatives, please WhatsApp DM @ 91 7290009373," the NIA said in a post on X.

The post comes amid growing tensions between India and Canada after PM Justin Trudeau accused the Indian government of being behind the fatal shooting of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Nijjar, who was a designated terrorist in India, was gunned down outside a Gurdwara in a parking area in Canada's Surrey, British Columbia on June 18.
