NIA arrests key suspect in 2025 Amritsar temple grenade attack
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested Sharanjit Kumar, a key accused in the March 2025 grenade attack at an Amritsar temple, from Gaya, Bihar. Sharanjit, who played a pivotal role in the operation by supplying grenades, had evaded capture for months, often disguising himself to avoid detection. The NIA’s investigation reveals a transnational terror network operating from Europe, the US, and Canada, providing logistical support to operatives in India. This arrest underscores the NIA’s commitment to dismantling terror networks and highlights the ongoing challenges of countering transnational terrorism, reflecting the need for enhanced cooperation and vigilance in safeguarding national security.
