PRO-KHALISTANI banned terror outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) is trying to settle its important members and executors abroad in the countries of their wish, with the help of Pro-Khalistan Elements (PKEs) who are well settled in various countries across the world. A National Investigation Agency (NIA) chargesheet filed in March this year reveals that the BKI’s move has created a symbiotic terrorist-gangster network, between gangster and Pro-Khalistan elements which fulfill their requirement of the shooters to carry out targeted killings. In return gangsters get access to sophisticated weapons from across the border.

 

In the chargesheet, the NIA said it was the BKI that targeted and attacked important security installations which was manifested in the form of RPG terror attacks on Intelligence headquarters of Punjab Police in Mohali, RPG attack on Sarhali Police Station in Tarn Taran and an IED blast on CIA Ropar. “All executioners-accused are from outside States including Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. Only harbourers and logistic supporters are from State. They are directly supervised by their gang handlers from abroad who further work on directions of BKI,” the chargesheet mentions. As per the NIA, BKI at present is active in the US, Canada, the UK, Belgium, France, Germany, Norway, Switzerland and Pakistan. The terror group continues its operations from Pakistan with the support of Pakistan’s ISI. It has been officially banned and designated as an international terrorist organisation by several countries India, Canada, European Union, Japan, Malaysia, the UK and the USA.

 

Currently, the agency said, Wadhwa Singh Babbar, who is hiding in Pakistan, heads the outfit. “Mehal Singh is the deputy chief of BKI. Both, Mehal Singh and Wadhwa Singh are amongst the 20 terrorists whom India wants Pakistan to extradite” the chargesheet says. “Harwinder Singh alias Rinda, a gangster turned terrorist has been involved in murders, attempt to murder, contract killing, robberies and extortions,” it adds. Wadhwa Singh Babbar has personally supervised assassination of Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh on August 31, 1995.
