NIA conducts searches across Punjab, Haryana, UP in Bambiha syndicate case

In a significant crackdown, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted extensive searches across 9 locations in Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday. The searches were linked to associates of the Davinder Bambiha syndicate, a notorious terrorist-gangster nexus.

The NIA teams searched premises in Palwal, Faridabad, and Gurugram districts of Haryana, Jalandhar district of Punjab, and Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh. The searches yielded incriminating materials, including mobile phones, digital devices, banking transactions, and property-related documents.

NIA’s crackdown is part of its ongoing efforts to dismantle terror outfits involved in smuggling terrorist hardware, such as arms, ammunition, narcotics, and explosives, into India. Investigations have revealed large-scale attempts by these organizations and terrorists to raise funds for carrying out terror acts on Indian soil.

Further investigations are ongoing, sources said.
