NIA files charge-sheet against 16 foreign based Khalistanis

NIA has filed a charge-sheet against 16 Khalistanis based outside Bharat for their conspiracy to create Khalistan and launching a secessionist campaign for the same. The charge-sheet was filed before the NIA Special Court in New Delhi under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).

The accused persons hail from the USA, UK, and Canada. The NIA in its statement has said that the accused persons belong to an organization called Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) which acts as a frontal organization for Khalistanis under the garb of Human Rights Group and operates from various foreign countries including Pakistan.

NIA also said that the organization was attempting to radicalize youth in the name of region and religion using various social media platforms. According to NIA apart from raising funds for terrorism, SFJ has been making attempts to undermine the security of the country by instigating Sikh personnel in the Bharatiya army to rise up in mutiny against Bharat. SFJ is also trying to radicalize the youth of Kashmir and openly extending support for the secession of Kashmir from Bharat.

Immovable properties of two terrorists identified as Gurpatwant Singh Pannun in District Amritsar, Punjab, and terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in District Jalandhar, Punjab have also been attached by the NIA in the exercise of its powers under Section 51-A of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967.
