Continuing its crackdown on terrorists and Khalistani extremists, the Indian government in a bold move has now asked the investigative agencies to identify the properties of all the terrorists wanted in India sitting abroad for confiscation and cancel their Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) so that they don’t come to India.
