The searches were carried out in Gurdaspur, Batala, Ferozepur, Fazilka, Tarn Taran, Amritsar, and Faridkot districts. During the operation, the NIA seized several incriminating materials, including mobile phones, digital devices, and documents.

According to an official statement, the raids targeted individuals associated with Pasian and his network, which spans across multiple countries. Happy Pasian, currently in the United States, was arrested there last month.

He is considered a key operative of the banned terrorist organisation Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), which is backed by Rinda and based in Pakistan.

The NIA is investigating the nexus between gangsters and terrorist outfits operating across borders and has intensified its crackdown on such networks.
