The NIA conducted extensive raids across six Indian states in connection with a major cross-border smuggling case linked to Pakistan-backed Khalistani operatives. The operation targeted 18 locations in Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Karnataka. It involved the smuggling of arms and narcotics and the radicalization of individuals through pro-Khalistani ideologies. The NIA recovered several electronic devices and other materials during the raids, and the ongoing investigation is focusing on individuals coordinating with Pakistan-based handlers.
