NIA Books Khalistani Terrorist Over Video Threatening Air India Passengers

New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has registered a case against Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu.

According to NIA, Pannun had been creating a false narrative around issues prevailing in Punjab — with regard to Sikh religion — by fanning enmity between Sikhs in India and other communities.
