The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken a major action against the suspects involved in the recent attacks on Indian embassies located in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada.
The NI has identified 43 suspects who are involved in the attacks on Indian embassies of different countries.
Many suspects carrying the flag of Khalistan damaged the embassies during this period. According to India Today report, NIA has used crowdsourcing angle to identify these suspects.
Let us tell you that after the order of the Home Ministry, NIA had taken over the case of attacks on Indian diplomatic missions in America, Britain and Canada in June this year.
50 killed in raids
According to reports, so far 50 raids have been conducted in India and around 80 persons have been questioned in connection with the attacks. Indian diplomatic missions were targeted in March and July this year.
Khalistani elements carried out two separate attacks on the Indian Embassy in London during a protest on 19 March. Similar attacks also took place in San Francisco on July 2.
Both incidents are being investigated by the NIA with charges including criminal trespass, vandalism, damaging public property, attempting to harm embassy staff and inciting violence.
Additionally, the NIA team visited San Francisco in August 2023 to gather information about the attackers involved in these violent acts.
The Special Cell of Delhi Police had also registered an FIR under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in connection with the attacks in Canada and San Francisco in March 2023.
Grenade was thrown in Canada
A grenade was also thrown during protests at the Indian High Commission in Canada, after which the provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and Explosives Act were invoked.
In June this year, the NIA also released several CCTV footage of the attack on the Indian mission in London and sought help from the public in identifying the culprits.
Alleged pro-Khalistan protesters tried to vandalize the Indian High Commission in London on March 19 and pulled down the national flag while protesting outside the High Commission premises. However, officials claimed that the attempt was foiled.
