NIA Special Court has ordered to confiscation of land belonging to ‘Designated Individual Terrorist (DIT)’ and Pak-based self-styled Chief of banned terror outfits (ISYF and KLF) Lakhbir Singh under Section 33 (5) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.
According to the NIA, the gangster-turned-terrorist, who is learnt to be living in Canada since 2017, is the mastermind behind several cases of terrorism, including the 2022 rocket-propelled grenade attacks on the police intelligence headquarters and the Sarhali police station in Punjab.
Landa was charge-sheeted by the NIA on July 22 this year following investigation into his antecedents, which include masterminding the conspiracy to kill Punjab Police sub-inspector Dilbagh Singh in August 2022.
Landa and other foreign-based pro-Khalistan terrorists have been found to be engaged in smuggling of terrorist hardware, including arms, ammunition, explosives, and custom-made ready-to-use improvised explosive devices, along with other types of contraband, including drugs, from across the border.
