Absconders Identified
US-based Passia, along with Pakistan-based terrorist Harwinder Singh as Rinda as well as Shamsher Singh as Shera and Honey, are the three absconders chargesheeted by NIA in the case RC-07/2025/NIA/DLI on Thursday.

All seven accused have been chargesheeted under various sections of UA (P) Act and Explosive Substances Act, as well as other related provisions, for their roles in the conspiracy and execution of the attack, which took place on 12th December 2024.
NIA probe into the matter
NIA, which took over the case on 23rd March this year, found during investigation that at Rinda’s behest, Happy Passia, had recruited Abhijot Singh through his node, Shamsher Singh @ Shera @ Honey in Armenia, to carry out the terror attack. Abhijot has also been arrested by NIA in a separate case relating to targeted shooting in Sector 10, Chandigarh.
On his return from Armenia, Abhijot had engaged in picking and dropping of weapons/ explosives on the directions of his foreign-based handlers. He had expanded his gang by recruiting Kuljit Singh and other co accused. On 9th December 2024, Kuljit had picked up the grenade for the attack on PS Ghanie Ke Bangar.
NIA is continuing with its investigation as part of its efforts to dismantle BKI’s terror network in India.
