The High Commission of India in London was attacked in March by a group of about 50 persons, who committed criminal trespass, caused disrespect to the Indian National flag, damage to public property and injuries to officials of the High Commission of India.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday raided 31 locations across Punjab and Haryana to unravel and unearth the full contours of the conspiracy behind the March 19 attack on the High Commission of India in London and bring to book various attackers and assailants.

"Massive raids were conducted today across the two north-Indian states, as part of NIA's efforts to unravel the bigger conspiracy behind the London attack," said the NIA.

These searches were conducted in Moga, Barnala, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Tarn Taran, Ludhiana, Gurdaspur, SBS Nagar, Amritsar, Mukhtsar, Sangrur, Patiala and Mohali districts in Punjab and Sirsa in Haryana.
