NIA ARRESTS ONE ACCUSED PERSON IN THE CASE OF ATTACK ON INDIAN HIGH COMMISSION IN LONDON
New Delhi, 25th April 2024: In a major breakthrough, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday arrested one accused in the 2023 case relating to the violent attack on the High Commission of India, London, and unlawful actions during the subsequent protests.
Inderpal Singh Gaba, a resident of Hounslow, UK, has been arrested for carrying out unlawful activities during the protests that took place on 22nd March 2023.
NIA investigations in the case so far have revealed that the incidents in London on 19th March and 22nd March last year were parts of a larger conspiracy to unleash vicious attacks on the Indian missions and its officials.
The attacks in London in March 2023 were found to be in retaliation to the action taken by Punjab Police against pro-Khalistani separatist Amritpal Singh on 18th March 2023.
Further investigations in the case are continuing.
