Probing attack on San Francisco consulate, NIA conducts raids in Punjab, Haryana

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday carried out raids at 14 locations in Punjab and Haryana in the case relating to the attacks on the Indian consulate in San Francisco, US, by suspected pro-Khalistan elements.

An NIA statement said the raids were aimed at unravelling the full conspiracy behind the vandalism, criminal trespass, damage to public property, attempt to harm consulate officials, and attempts to set the consulate building on fire through acts of arson, on March 19 and July 2 this year.

The locations raided by NIA on Wednesday are spread across the districts of Moga, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Gurdaspur, Mohali and Patiala in Punjab, and Kurukshetra and Yamunanagar in Haryana. The crackdown led to the seizure of digital data containing information related to the accused persons, along with other incriminating documents.

An NIA team had in August this year visited San Francisco as part of its investigation into the attacks. NIA has also tried to crowd-source information so as to identify and collect information about the US-based entities and individuals that were involved in the violent incidents at the San Francisco consulate.
