On Tuesday, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) executed searches at 18 locations across Punjab and Haryana, targeting the terror-gangster network allegedly operated by Pakistan-based Shahzad Bhatti. This operation spanned nine districts and is connected to three significant cases involving attacks on police establishments, including a high-profile grenade attack. During the raids, the NIA questioned several individuals and seized various digital devices and documents related to communication networks and financial transactions. The evidence collected is undergoing forensic examination to clarify the structure of Bhatti's alleged cross-border operations. The agency has already linked Bhatti to a grenade attack on social media influencer Roger Sandhu's residence in March 2025 and is investigating his involvement in other incidents, including a blast at the Women Police Station in Sirsa, Haryana, in November 2025, and a car bomb explosion at Baldev Nagar police station in Ambala in January 2026. The NIA's ongoing investigation aims to dismantle the operational, financial, and logistical support for Bhatti's network.
