The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed charges against two individuals in connection with a grenade attack on YouTuber Roger Sandhu's residence in Raipur Rasoolpur village, Jalandhar district, Punjab, India. The attack occurred in the early hours of March 16, 2025, and was orchestrated by Shehzad Bhatti, a Pakistani gangster currently absconding. The NIA took over the investigation from Punjab Police in December 2025, which had initially registered the case in March last year and charged nine individuals. Bhatti is accused of directing the attack from abroad, part of a larger terror conspiracy involving targeted killings and arms smuggling into India. The second accused, Dipander Pratap Singh alias Deepan Rana, has been arrested and is charged with providing logistical support and handling illegal arms. The NIA continues to investigate the case, seeking to apprehend seven other absconders linked to the broader terror network.
