India Today
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is conducting raids at 60 locations across India to crack down on gangs and crime syndicates.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday conducted raids at 60 locations across India to crack down on gangs and crime syndicates. The 60 locations include places in Delhi, National Capital Region, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.
The NIA had registered a case against gangsters who belong to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and the Neeraj Bawana gang and is now conducting raids at different locations to nab the suspects. The gangsters will be booked under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
This comes a day after Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav said that there is a strong nexus between terror groups and the gangsters arrested in the Sidhu Moose Wala murder case. He had said that the ISI was exploiting this nexus.
According to the NIA report, Neeraj Sehrawat alias Neeraj Bawana and his gang are involved in targeted killings of famous personalities and spreading terror on social media.
Neeraj Bawana and his gang are also currently involved in a gang war with Lawrence Bishnoi, according to sources. Hours after the murder of Punjabi singer-politician Sidhu Moose Wala, Neeraj Bawana had announced revenge on the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
The NIA raids are being conducted to crack down on gangs that are operating from inside jails in India and abroad. These include gangsters like Goldy Brar, who coordinated the Sidhu Moose Wala murder from Canada.
