NIA conducts searches in Punjab in connection with attack on Indian High Commission in Canada

New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday conducted searches in Punjab in connection with its probe into the attack on the Indian High Commission in Canada by pro-Khalistan supporters, officials said.

The anti-terror probe agency had registered a case in this regard in June last year.

The NIA is conducting searches in Punjab in the case, they said.

The case relates to protest by pro-Khalistani supporters outside the Indian mission in Ottawa, Canada on March 23, 2023, "who raised anti-India slogan, tied Khalistani flags on the boundary wall of the High Commission and hurled two grenades inside the High Commission building", according to the NIA's first information report (FIR).
