Chandigarh, April 9 — The National Investigation Agency has arrested Abhijot Singh of Gurdaspur, the sixth accused in the Chandigarh grenade attack case, for his alleged role in the terror conspiracy orchestrated by foreign-based Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) operatives.
Abhijot, already lodged in jail for a separate grenade attack on a police station, was in direct contact with US-based Harpreet Singh alias Happy Passia. Investigators said he carried out detailed recces of the target location in July and August 2024 and arranged a stolen motorcycle with a fake number plate to carry out the strike.
NIA said Happy supplied pistols to Abhijot and co-accused Rohan Masih in August 2024, directing them to open fire at the Sector 10 house, but the duo failed to execute the attack on two occasions.
Pakistan-based Harwinder Singh Sandhu alias Rinda and Happy have already been chargesheeted as absconders, while three others were arrested earlier. Following Abhijot’s arrest, the NIA also searched a location in Karnal, Haryana, to track down the broader network involved in the plot.
