Lakhbir Singh Landa Designated as “Individual Terrorist” by Indian Ministry of Home Affairs

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in India has officially labeled Lakhbir Singh Landa, a notorious leader of the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) based in Canada, as an “individual terrorist” under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

This decisive action follows Landa’s involvement in orchestrating the smuggling of arms and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from Pakistan into India.

RPG Attack Mastermind
Landa is identified as the key planner behind the rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attack on the Punjab Police intelligence headquarters in Mohali, which occurred on May 9 last year.

The impact of this attack reverberated across the nation, leading to an intensive pursuit by both the Punjab Police and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to apprehend Landa in connection with this assault.

Khalistan Connections
The MHA’s official notification highlights Landa’s extensive affiliations with pro-Khalistan elements in Canada.

His associations span links with the late Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar and Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the leader of Sikhs for Justice.

These connections underscore Landa’s deep-rooted involvement within the pro-Khalistan network, emphasizing the seriousness of his engagement in activities posing a threat to national security.
