In the Amritsar temple grenade attack case, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed a chargesheet against three people, the officials informed on Sunday. The charge sheet was filed before a special court in Mohali on Friday.
NIA charged Vishal Gill, Bhagwant Singh, and Diwan Singh for their role in the conspiracy and execution of the attack on the Thakurdwara Sanatan Temple at Chheharta in Amritsar.
Vishal was among the two bike-borne assailants who had hurled the grenade in the early hours of March 15 at the temple, and the other, Gursidak Singh, was killed in a police encounter two days after the attack. As mentioned in the chargesheet, Bhatti provided shelter, safe concealment of grenades, motorcycles for reconnaissance, and logistical support before and after the attack to the attackers. Sunny has been chargesheeted for his role in hiding the co-accused and for destroying the evidence, said the NIA.
Meanwhile, the other accused, Sharanjeet Kumar, was arrested by the NIA from Gaya Ji in Bihar on September 5. Investigations against him and the absconding accused Badalpreet Singh are continuing.
NIA’s investigation into the case further revealed the transfer of terror funds from foreign handlers to local operatives through UPI and MTSS (money transfer service scheme) channels, which are being further probed, it said. The efforts are ongoing to trace the remaining absconders and uncover the international links of the terror module behind the attack, the statement said.
