Goldy Brar, whose real name is Satwinder Singh, faces serious terror-related charges. A kidnapping case involving a Chandigarh-based businessman was registered against him on January 20, 2024. The NIA took over the investigation on March 8, 2024, citing national security concerns.

Investigators also identify Goldy Brar as the key conspirator in the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala. The central government has already designated him a terrorist under Indian law. He is currently believed to be residing in Canada.

The NIA has booked him under multiple IPC sections. These include criminal conspiracy, extortion, criminal intimidation, and acts endangering life. Authorities have also invoked provisions of the UAPA and the Arms Act.

The court said it may order confiscation of his properties if he fails to appear. Sources say agencies have intensified extradition efforts. Officials are coordinating with Canadian authorities to bring him back to India.

The order marks a major step in tightening action against overseas-based terror operatives.

Kamalkant, known by the alias “Uncle Ji,” had been under surveillance for a long time. Investigators say he coordinated the supply of illegal firearms and ammunition to criminals across Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana.

The NIA found that he sourced ammunition from licensed gun houses in Haryana. The weapons were then moved illegally through Uttar Pradesh and supplied to different parts of Bihar. The agency believes the network supported organised crime and posed a serious threat to public safety.

Earlier this month, the NIA conducted raids at more than 20 locations across three states. Several of Kamalkant’s associates were arrested during those searches. A large quantity of illegal arms and live cartridges was also recovered.

With this arrest, the total number of accused held in the case has gone up. The NIA said further investigation is ongoing to trace buyers, financiers, and other links in the network.

The newly arrested individuals include Dr Muzammil Shakeel Ganai from Pulwama (J&K), Dr Adeel Ahmed Rather from Anantnag (J&K), Dr Shaheen Saeed from Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), and Mufti Irfan Ahmad Wagay from Shopian (J&K). Three are medical professionals, while the fourth is a religious preacher. The Patiala House Court granted custody to the NIA, which took the suspects into Srinagar for interrogation.

State prosecutors highlighted that the blast was meticulously planned, involving a combination of local and cross-border operatives. Authorities are interrogating the accused to identify all links and uncover the broader conspiracy behind the attack. Earlier, the NIA had arrested Amir Rashid Ali and Jasir Bilal Wani alias Danish, linked to the explosives-laden Hyundai i20 used in the blast and the attempted recruitment of a potential suicide bomber. On Tuesday, Wani was remanded to 10 days of NIA custody by a special NIA court at Patiala House.

According to the agency, the suspects are part of a white-collar terror module dismantled by Jammu & Kashmir police in coordination with authorities in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. During the investigation, a lead emerged from Al Falah University in Faridabad, where 2,900 kg of explosives were recovered.

The NIA, which formally took over the case on 11 November, continues to probe multiple angles, including financing, recruitment, and logistical support, as investigators work to dismantle the terror network entirely.

NIA sources reported that the terror module was actively exploring ways to repurpose drones into mini-rocket projectors capable of carrying powerful improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The Drone Rocket Bomb Plot also involved attempts to rope in skilled technology specialists, engineers, and device-modifying experts for technical assistance. This approach indicated a transition from conventional terrorism to high-precision, tech-driven, unmanned attacks.

Investigators believe the primary objective of the operatives was to target sensitive, strategic, and high-security installations across India while ensuring total anonymity and remote execution. By using drones as delivery and launch systems, the perpetrators aimed to evade security barricades, surveillance grids, and human intelligence units.

This explosive revelation highlights a dangerous new chapter in terrorism, where modern technology, robotics, and aerial devices are manipulated for destructive missions. Officials stated that evolving counter-drone measures, aerospace surveillance, forensic cyber-tracking, and rapid-response defence tools are now critical to national safety.

Security experts warned that if not intercepted in time, such plans could give terror organisations a powerful tactical advantage. The investigation is ongoing, and further arrests and digital forensic evaluations are expected.

The arrested accused has been identified as Amir Rashid Ali, a resident of Samboora in Pampore, Jammu and Kashmir. According to the NIA, the car used in the attack was registered under Ali’s name. He was taken into custody in Delhi following an extensive search operation launched after the agency took over the case from Delhi Police. Investigators revealed that Ali had travelled to the capital to help arrange the car later converted into a vehicle-borne Improvised Explosive Device (IED).

NIA officials stated that Ali conspired with the alleged suicide bomber Umar Un Nabi, who drove the explosive-laden vehicle that detonated. Nabi, a resident of Pulwama district, was previously working as an Assistant Professor in the General Medicine department at Al Falah University, Faridabad. Through forensic examination, the NIA has confirmed Nabi’s identity as the deceased driver of the IED-fitted vehicle.

Additionally, officers have seized another vehicle linked to Nabi, which is currently being inspected for further evidence. As part of the ongoing investigation, the agency has recorded statements from at least 73 witnesses, including survivors of the November 10 explosion that shook the national capital.

Five special police teams are combing the city for the car. All police stations, border posts, and checkpoints have been alerted. Uttar Pradesh and Haryana Police are helping with the search. Investigators believe the attackers used the Hyundai i20, which exploded near Red Fort Metro Gate No.1, and another red car to plan the strike.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has formed a 10-member team led by ADG Vijay Sakhare. Officers are scanning over 1,000 CCTV clips, checking mobile phone data, and tracking social media activity for leads. Security has been tightened in several cities.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the injured at Lok Nayak Hospital after returning from Bhutan. He met patients and doctors and reviewed their condition. High alerts remain across Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Mumbai, especially around busy markets and temples.

Highlighting the NSG’s legacy since 1984, Shah praised its decisive role in major operations like the Akshardham and 26/11 attacks. He announced the establishment of a new NSG hub in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, expanding the elite force’s network to seven hubs across India, including Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Jammu.

The Home Minister reaffirmed India’s “zero terrorism policy” under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He mentioned legal reforms and operations such as the abrogation of Article 370, surgical strikes, and air strikes that weakened terror networks. Shah also referenced “Operation Sindoor” and “Operation Mahadev,” which targeted terror camps and operatives.

He also appreciated the CAPF’s contribution to environmental protection, noting 6.5 crore saplings planted since 2019. Shah laid the foundation for a Rs 141 crore Special Training Centre in Manesar to strengthen counter-terror training for commandos.

Authorities allege Sarkar helped gang members carry out terror activities and flee the country. He reportedly arranged forged Aadhaar cards, Voter IDs, and bank passbooks. The fake documents also helped co-accused Sachin Bishnoi obtain passports fraudulently.

So far, the NIA has arrested 18 accused, while four remain absconding. Delhi Police Special Cell registered the case on August 4, 2022, and the NIA took over on August 26. Investigators continue to probe the terror-gangster nexus to prevent future threats.

Recently, the NIA charged four people in a grenade attack at former Punjab Minister Manoranjan Kalia’s residence. The attack occurred on April 7 in Jalandhar. Authorities said Babbar Khalsa operative Kulbir Singh and his associate Manish, also known as Kaka Rana, planned the attack. The accused face charges under the UA(P) Act, BNS, and Explosive Substances Act.

The NIA cited credible evidence, including a video shared on the official SFJ ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) handle on August 10, 2025, in which Pannun issued the provocative call. During the same event, he also unveiled a new Khalistan map that included Punjab, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, and parts of Uttar Pradesh as part of a proposed separate state.

The FIR further revealed that Pannun addressed a press conference at the Lahore Press Club in Pakistan through a video link from Washington, where he rejected India’s sovereignty over Punjab and promoted a “Delhi Banayga Khalistan” referendum.

The central government stated that Pannun’s actions were aimed at undermining India’s sovereignty and spreading disaffection among the Sikh community. He has been booked under Section 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (criminal conspiracy) and Sections 10 and 13 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), 1967.

The NIA is investigating the case to uncover Pannun’s network and prevent any attempts to incite violence or disturb national security. Authorities have reiterated their commitment to taking strict action against those threatening India’s unity and territorial integrity.

In Andhra Pradesh, several items were seized during the raids, including digital devices, cash, and suspicious objects. These items are believed to be linked to the ongoing investigation into a potential conspiracy against the central government.

The NIA had earlier arrested Siraj Ur Rehman from Vijayanagaram in July, who confessed during interrogation that he was involved in plotting against the government. His arrest and subsequent confession have significantly advanced the investigation.

This operation highlights the continued efforts of the NIA to disrupt terror activities across India. The raids are part of a broader strategy to address and dismantle networks that threaten national security.
