Sirsa Grenade Attack: NIA Names 4 More Accused in Cross-Border Terror Plot
NIA names four more accused in the Sirsa women police station grenade attack, uncovering a cross-border terror network and narcotics link.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has intensified its crackdown on a cross-border terror network by filing a supplementary chargesheet against four additional individuals involved in the Sirsa women police station grenade attack. The chargesheet was submitted before the NIA Special Court in Panchkula, Haryana, detailing a sinister conspiracy aimed at terrorizing the public and targeting law enforcement officers.
The New Accused and Their Roles
The supplementary chargesheet identifies four key players who allegedly facilitated the attack. Among them, Rajbir Singh, also known as Fouji, is described as the central India-based coordinator. The NIA asserts that Singh worked closely with handlers based outside India to manage the movement of narcotics and weapons, including hand grenades, within the country.
Working under the directions of Rajbir Singh, three other individuals—Chirag Thakral, Jiwanjot Singh Grewal (alias Jyoti), and Ved Parkash (alias Pamma)—played pivotal roles in transporting the explosives that were ultimately used in the attack on the Women Police Station in Sirsa.
A Web of International Conspiracy
The investigation reveals that the attack was not an isolated incident but the work of the "Shahzad Bhatti network." This organized conspiracy was orchestrated by foreign-based handlers operating a cross-border terror network with the specific intent of creating fear among the general public and causing harm to police personnel.
This is not the first time the NIA has moved against the perpetrators of this attack. On May 24, 2026, the agency had already filed an initial chargesheet against nine individuals, which included Pakistani nationals Sohail Ahmad (alias Sohail Baloch) and Shahzad Bhatti.
Legal Framework and Case History
The case originally began with an FIR filed on November 26 last year at the Civil Line Police Station in Sirsa, following the grenade attack on November 25, 2025. Recognizing the terror angle, the NIA re-registered the case on December 30, 2025.
The four newly named accused face severe charges under multiple laws, including:
- Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023: Sections 61(2) read with 109 and 238.
- Explosive Substances Act, 1908: Sections 5 and 6.
- Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967: Sections 18, 18B, and 20.
The Hunt Continues
While the supplementary chargesheet provides a deeper look into the roles of the coordinators and facilitators, the NIA has stated that the investigation is far from over. The agency is continuing its efforts to identify and arrest other collaborators and to fully dismantle the cross-border terror network responsible for the violence in Sirsa.
