NIA Unearths Transnational Terror Plot Behind Amritsar Temple Attack
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) launched a major operation on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, conducting searches at 19 locations across Punjab. These searches were directly linked to the grenade attack on a prominent Amritsar temple in March.
The NIA investigation revealed a sophisticated transnational terror network. Digital devices seized during the raids provided crucial evidence.
The probe points to the involvement of Gursidak Singh (deceased) and Vishal Gill in the attack. The duo allegedly received funding, explosives, and radicalisation training from handlers based abroad.
The NIA’s findings highlight a disturbing trend of foreign-backed terror groups targeting religious sites within India. This underscores the urgent need for heightened security measures and cross-border intelligence cooperation to thwart future attacks. The investigation is ongoing.
