NIA arrests dreaded terrorist Harpreet Malaysia at Delhi airport

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested most wanted terrorist and the main conspirator behind the Ludhiana court bomb blast from Delhi airport soon after his arrival from Malaysia’s capital Kaula Lumpur, the agency said on Friday.

An associate of Lakhbir Singh Rode, a Pakistan-based self-styled Chief of the International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF), Harpreet, a resident of  Amritsar district had been absconding after the December 2021 Ludhiana Court Building blast which left one dead and six injured.

“Investigations revealed that Harpreet Singh alias Happy Malaysia, an associate of Lakhbir Singh Rode, was one of the conspirators of the Ludhiana Court Building blast, along with Rode,” said the NIA in a statement.

Acting on the directions of Rode, Harpreet coordinated the delivery of the custom-made Improvised Explosive Device (IED), which had been sent from Pakistan to his India-based associates, that was used in the Ludhiana Court Complex blast, said the NIA.

Harpreet was also involved and wanted in various cases, including the smuggling of explosives, arms and narcotics.

NIA had declared a reward of Rs 10 lakh on Harpreet Singh against whom a non-bailable Warrant from the Special NIA court had been issued and a look-out circular was opened.
