Mohali/New Delhi, Dec 29
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) today filed a third supplementary chargesheet in a special court in Mohali against two drug traffickers, including a Pakistani national, for their alleged involvement in a narco-terror case linked to terror group Hizbul Mujahideen.
A probe agency spokesperson said charges were slapped on Gurjant Singh of Amritsar and Nasir of Pakistan under various sections of the IPC, NDPS Act and the UAPA.
The case was registered in Amritsar in April last year after the arrest of Allah Ahmed Shergojri, seizure of a truck and recovery of Rs 29 lakh from his possession, the spokesperson said.
The NIA said Shergojri was an over-ground worker and a close associate of Riyaz Ahmad Naikoo, the then commander of Hizbul Mujahideen in Kashmir. The NIA took over the investigation in May last year.
“The investigation revealed that chargesheeted accused Gurjant Singh alias Sunny alias Ashish Gattu is a narcotics trafficker and he was in close contact with other co-conspirators for supplying heroin and channelising the proceeds of sale of narcotics into terror activities,” the spokesperson said.
