NEW DELHI: National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday arrested an alleged pro-Khalistan terror accused Gurjeet Singh Nijjar, who had been hiding in Cyprus, at the Indira Gandhi International airport here.
Nijjar was an absconding accused in the Pune Khalistan case, which has its origins in the arrest of an accused Harpal Singh in Pune by Maharashtra ATS on December 2, 2018, with an illegal firearm and some live rounds. Harpal has links with proscribed terrorist outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), said a source. Subsequently, another accused – Moin Khan – was arrested by Punjab police from Sirhind and his custody taken by Mumbai police on December 24, 2018.
