The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has attached the house of two brothers in Amritsar district of Punjab in connection with a “Pakistan-sponsored” narco-terror case, the agency said on July 4.
The residential property, which has been attached under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, belongs to Bikramjit Singh aka Bikram Singh and Maninder Singh. They were earlier arrested by the NIA. The agency has so far filed four chargesheets against 13 accused in the case which was registered on May 8, 2020.
The case pertains to the allegation that a narco-terror module was smuggling large quantities of drugs into India from Pakistan, in the garb of exporting rock salt. “The sale proceeds of the smuggled drugs were being used to create movable and immovable properties in Punjab, besides being channelised to fund terrorists of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen in the Kashmir Valley,” the agency said.
