India convicted before probe completed: Envoy on Nijjar killing allegations

India was absolutely and decidedly not involved in the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada and Ottawa has "convicted" New Delhi even before the completion of the investigation, India's High Commissioner here Sanjay Kumar Verma has said. Verma's remarks came during an interview with CTV News, Canada's largest privately owned television network. Canada and India witnessed strains in ties following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations in September of the "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Nijjar on June 18 in British Columbia. India had designated Nijjar as a terrorist in 2020. India has rejected Trudeau's allegations as "absurd" and "motivated". During the interview which will be aired on Sunday, Verma was asked why India was not cooperating with Canada in the investigation. To this, he said, "...even without an investigation being concluded, India was convicted." "Is that the rule of law?" Verma asked. When asked h

NIA court forfeits properties of listed Khalistani terrorist Rinda's aides

As part of a new strategy to hit the finances of terrorist organisations, the special NIA Court in Haryana has forfeited the seized property of four aides of Pakistan-based 'listed Khalistani terrorist' Harwinder Singh Sandhu alias Rinda. This is the first time the NIA has proactively sought the properties of terrorists to be forfeited to the State under Section 26 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act after being attached as proceeds of terrorism. "Forfeiture of properties is a major new tool in the NIA's strategy to dismantle the terrorist ecosystem in the country. The NIA has adopted this strategy to squeeze the financial resources of the terrorist outfits as well as their operatives and associates," a spokesperson of the federal anti-terror agency said. It has already attached several terrorist-linked properties and the process of their forfeiture is underway in different courts. In the instant case, the NIA special court has approved the anti-terror agency's application

The Delhi Police has detained two persons in connection with writing pro-Khalistan messages on the walls of at least five Delhi Metro stations ahead of the G20 Summit, officials said on Thursday. Police spokesperson Suman Nalwa said the two persons were detained from Punjab by the Delhi Police's Special Cell. Another officer said that their interrogation was underway.

A wall of a government school in Nangloi was also found defaced. A purported video was released by the banned outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) which showed the defaced walls of the metro stations.
