In a major breakthrough, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday arrested a key accused in a case related to the attack on the Indian High Commission in London in March last year.
Inderpal Singh Gaba, a resident of Hounslow in the UK, has been arrested for carrying out unlawful activities during pro-Khalistani protests that took place on March 22, 2023, in London, a statement issued by the agency said.
NIA investigations in the case so far have revealed that the incidents in London on March 19 and 22 last year were part of a larger conspiracy to unleash vicious attacks on the Indian missions and its officials.
The attacks in London in March 2023 were found to be in retaliation to the action taken by the Punjab Police against pro-Khalistani separatist Amritpal Singh on March 18, 2023, it added.
Further investigations in the case are continuing, the statement said.
After weeks of dramatic manhunt, the Punjab Police arrested 29-year-old Singh from a gurdwara in Rode on April 2023 under the stringent National Security Act. In February last year, Singh’s followers stormed the Ajnala police station to secure the release of an arrested associate.
